A week ago this evening, we had just finished our second show and were packing up the theatre!

‘A Land of Make Believe: Where a Magical World Awaits’ completely surpassed our expectations – it truly was an unforgettable weekend!

We saw fantastic performances from all our pupils, and an incredible amount of hard work went into the preparation.

So many of you have told us it was “the best show yet,” and we are so grateful for all the kind comments we have received this week.

We are all immensely proud of all our pupils and the way they embraced the show. They all worked so hard, and it really paid off in what was an amazing production.

It has been a very busy week returning hired costumes, so apologies for the delay in sending this message.

I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to our wonderful team of teachers and for everything they contributed – from their amazing choreography to the rehearsals, show days, and their ongoing support. I feel incredibly lucky to have such a dedicated and talented team.

The day itself ran like clockwork, and both shows flowed seamlessly – a huge credit to our brilliant backstage team. Your support means so much.

A big thank you as well to all the parents who helped during the dress rehearsal and on the day itself – your support was invaluable, and we truly couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you to all our backstage helpers as well, and to The Bacon Theatre team for their support throughout.

I'm including a couple of backstage photos for now, while we wait for the professional ones!

We’re really looking forward to seeing the photos and video. Thank you to Neil at SOS Film / Photography / Sound for capturing everything for us once again – your work is always fantastic and it is a pleasure having you as a part of our Shows.

We’ve spent time this week chatting with pupils about the show, along with some fun games and quizzes to relive the experience!

We’re back to normal classes next week.

Thank you again to everyone for making this such a special show.
