Recent productions by our Performing Arts students: Disco Inferno A musical set in London in 1976; the hottest summer on record. ‘Disco Inferno’ tells the story of an ambitious and talented hopeful, Jack, and his ‘burning’ desire to make it in the music industry. Working late in a London nightclub, Jack meets Lady Marmalade - a femme fatale right-hand helper of the Devil. Dreaming of becoming successful, he makes a Faustian pact with her, trading his soul to fulfil his wildest fantasies.

The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov In The Cherry Orchard, impoverished landowner Lyuba Ranevskaya and her family must choose to either sell off their land or raze their cherry orchard in order to pay Lyuba's mortgage. Lyuba's ultimate decision to sell the property destroys the dreams of her family members, who are then consigned to lives of servitude and regret.

The Crucible The Crucible is a fictionalized account of the Salem Witch trials of 1692, in which 19 innocent men and women were killed by hanging and hundreds convicted before the panic subsided.

Zombie Prom
The Musical This girl loves ghoul rock and roll Off Broadway musical is set in the atomic 1950s at Enrico Fermi High, where the law is laid down by a zany, tyrannical principal. Pretty senior Toffee has fallen for the class bad boy but family pressure forces her to end the romance, and he charges off on his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns glowing and determined to reclaim Toffee's heart. Packed with humour, a zombie and a selection of original songs in the style of the 50s, the action rocks across the stage.
