Star in a Major Production

Every two years, the Senior School stages musical productions that feature students from across the school.

Students have the chance to take the lead, join the chorus, work backstage, or manage the lights and sound.

With five shows and more than 2,000 theatre goers, it was our biggest and most ambitious performance yet.
