As the Pymble term continues to hum with activity, Performing Arts areas are already preparing for major performance events.

In less than a week, from Thursday March 16 to Saturday March 18 at 7.00 pm, the Senior School production of A Chorus Line will be presented as a celebration of the prodigious talents of senior students in acting, dance and song.

Pymble’s interpretation of this much loved classic is an innovative and fresh leap forward upon the venerated stage of the Gillian Moore Centre for Performing Arts where so many theatrical triumphs have taken place.

Please consider attending the exciting and innovative production of A Chorus Line which unites all of the performing arts in a student driven production. Click here to purchase tickets.

Walking around the performing arts spaces of Pymble this week, I was struck by the vigour and commitment of Junior School students who rehearse in the Senior School spaces. Watching Ms Narelle Colbey exuberantly rehearsing a Junior School strings group and a Junior School dance group diligently and respectfully warming up for a lesson, I was struck by the seamless sharing of performing arts spaces between Junior and Senior School students; a joyous union of co-curricular landscape that is not often found in K-12 independent schools, and a union that will find ultimate fulfilment in the new Grey House precinct.

In this regard, it is important to note that Mr Kurt Schweinberger is the major point of contact for Junior School Performing Arts activities with the staunch support of the CCSA. I value the opportunity to work with the fabulous Mr Schweinberger in future Performing Arts projects from Kindergarten to Year 12.
