Cast
Production offers training in singing, dancing, acting & stagecraft skills. Through weekly rehearsals and the immersive show week in August, we foster students’ passion for the performing arts and celebrate the importance and relevance of theatre in our wider school community and in our own lives.
Crew
There is the opportunity for students to be part of the backstage crew. Our crew do everything that makes the show run smoothly. This includes technical aspects of the show - managing spotlights, mics & sound, and also behind stage duties - running props on and off stage, coordinating set & costume changes.
Lifelong Learning
As well as on & off stage skills, production teaches teamwork, confidence, resilience, initiative, and many other important qualities that develop accomplished and capable students. The EKC Production offers a nurturing and welcoming environment that is accepting and inclusive of all kinds of learners. It is a safe space for students to express themselves creatively, while also encouraging students to push themselves to be the best they can be.
