onSTAGE Nominations
The HSC Drama course is now complete for our 2023 cohort who sat their written examination last Monday, October 23.
We were delighted to learn that our students received five onSTAGE nominations for their Individual Project (IP) and Group Performance works. onSTAGE is an annual exhibition of performance and project works created during the preceding year’s course.
Congratulations to Eva Harris, Eliza Newton, and Allegra Sintras who had their IPs nominated.
And to the ensembles of Billie Palmer, Lucia Habib and Zoe Keusgen (Closing Hour), Anne-Marie Aroney, Natayleah Georgetown, Amelia Moran, Scarlett Phillips and Allegra Sintras (B.S. Assemble) who had their Group Performances nominated.
A stellar year all ‘round. Thanks, and bravo to the 25 students who undertook the course.
The Influencers – Musical
SCEGGS will stage their second musical this year when we present the world premiere of The Influencers.
The Influencers is an original musical with a score by Samantha Millin (Year 10) and book by Head of Drama, Mr Eyers. It will be performed by students from Years 7, 8 and 9.
What happens when four dynamic social media influencers become stranded in a town where technology is banned? The musical explores our reliance and addiction to technology. It’s a salient reminder for us to occasionally stop and appreciate the world around us.
Ms Romy Bartz and Ms Poppy Lynch direct the production, with Ms Monique Langford as Design Consultant and Mr Tim Hope providing Sound and Lighting design.
The season runs:

Bookings are now open via TryBooking.
