Six Form Students Put in a Star Performance
12 February 2010
Students at the Sixth Form College in Angel put in a timeless
performance at the opening night of their annual Sixth Form College
stage production, which was based this year on the 1966 hit
Broadway Musical Cabaret.
72 students in total were involved in the opening show on
Wednesday evening, including actors, band performers and technical
stage support. The production will be running for four nights at
the theatre in the Centre for Applied Sciences, with the finale
tomorrow night.
As participation is voluntary and non curriculum, the show
involves a mixture of students taking a variety of different
A-Levels, rather than just Drama.
Claire Widgery, Producer and Joint Coordinator of Performing
Arts, said: “I am very proud of all of the students taking part.
They have been rehearsing since September, so there has been a lot
of hard work and commitment from everyone. The annual Sixth Form
College show is always a great opportunity for students to express
themselves and showcase their talents.”
Callum Hurley, an English, French, Drama and History A Level
student, who plays the Nazi Officer Ernst Ludwig in the play, said
before the first performance: “I am a little bit nervous, but maybe
it is excitement. I have performed in minor plays before in front
of very small audiences, but this will be the biggest one I’ve ever
done. However, I’m confident we will all put on a great show!”
Ella Dodge, an A2 Drama student, who is playing the trumpet in
the band, said: “I am really excited and can’t wait for the first
night. I haven’t played the trumpet in front of a live audience for
2 years but I am confident I will do well. I acted in last year’s
show so I thought it would be a nice change to be in the band this
time.”
Cabaret still has performances scheduled for tonight and
tomorrow night, starting at 7:30pm.
