For Semester 2, the Year 11 Drama class have formed The Marist Curtain Call Theatre Company as part of their theatre production unit. All students have taken on a leadership production role and are creating, directing, producing, designing and acting in their chosen play, The One Act Play That Goes Wrong. They have been working for weeks in the pre-production phase in preparation for the play, which will take place next week on Thursday 19 October 19 and Friday 20 October. Please come and support this talented and hard-working group of Senior Students.
THE ONE ACT PLAY THAT GOES WRONG: Get ready for a night of mix-ups, mischief and mishaps! The opening night of The Marist Curtain Call Theatre company’s, The One Act Play That Goes Wrong, hits the stage for two nights only! The play features the rag-tag Cornley Drama Society who try to pull together their newest production. “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” This 1920s classic whodunit, quickly falls apart as unconscious actors, failing props and energetic “dead people” steal the show. How will this group of amateur actors respond? Will they make it to the final Curtain Call?
Find out on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 October at 6.00 pm! This play is suitable for all ages, and we would love to have many Junior School families in attendance!
