Welcome back! I trust everyone has had a restful break and perhaps enjoyed some of what\u2019s on offer at The Sydney Festival, a musical, a play or perhaps some of the excellent entertainment available from our streaming services. The Arts certainly enrich our lives and have been a great comfort in the precarious times we have recently navigated.<\/p>\n
I was able to spend some terrific nights in the theatre \u2013 The Merry Widow <\/em>at Opera Australia, HMS. Pinafore<\/em> at Parramatta Theatres, My Brilliant Career<\/em> at Belvoir, Pippin<\/em> at The Lyric and The Picture of Dorian Gray <\/em>at the Sydney Theatre Company. Spending the evening in a mask and socially distanced must make for an interesting view from the stage, however it\u2019s comforting to see theatres take these precautions.<\/p>\n At SCEGGS we look forward to presenting Olivia Satchell\u2019s play PRETTY.STRANGE<\/em> in November.<\/p>\n Old Girl Yve Blake\u2019s musical Fangirls<\/em> is making a return season to Belvoir Theatre playing at the Seymour Centre through February.<\/p>\n The Year 10 Drama class will be attending a performance on Wednesday February 17 at 6:30. Students will receive information pertaining to the excursion in class next week.<\/p>\n An early reminder to parents that students will need to have a mask for the theatre.<\/p>\n Congratulations to Year 11 student Olivia Dennison who has been appointed to the Griffin Theatre Ambassador program. The program allows students from schools to participate in workshops and observe plays in their 2021 season. Applications for participation are called for in November of each year.<\/p>\n Ms Vivienne Rodda will be “treading the boards” this term when she joins Castle Hill Players in their production of Andrew Bovell\u2019s Things I Know to be True<\/em>. We wish Ms Rodda all the best for rehearsals and a successful season of the play. Ms Rodda will also be directing our production of PRETTY.STRANGE<\/em> in Term 4.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A reminder that St Peter\u2019s Players classes will begin in week 3 on Monday February 8.<\/p>\n The Semester 1 timetable<\/a> and enrolment form<\/a> are available. Please peruse the classes available and complete enrolment. I draw your attention to a new class conducted by Liv Satchell \u2013 Writing for Stage and Screen<\/em>. This is an Open class and will be conducted via Zoom. The day and time for the class will be decided with participants after enrolment.<\/p>\n If you take a child to the theatre, not only will they practise empathy, they might also laugh uproariously, or come home singing about science, or want to know more about history, or tell you what happened at school today, or spend all dinner discussing music, or learn how to handle conflict, or start becoming future patrons of the arts.<\/p>\n Lauren Gunderson -Playwright<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Peter Eyers Welcome back!
