This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing<\/span><\/i> by Irish\/Australian playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer is a production that will be performed by Year 11 Drama. The play follows the story of three sisters whose lives follow an unexpected trajectory after the loss of their dear mother.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a play for all ages and includes shadowplay, puppetry, fairytale elements and production design by the students as part of their study in Drama this term. The production cast includes Rita A as Narrator, Charlotte D as Albienne, Gabriella G as Beatrix, and Angelique P as Carmen with assistance from the Year 11 Entertainment Industry class and the St Ursula\u2019s Stage Crew.<\/span><\/p>\n

Albienne is a very courageous character. Although she is very sweet – aspiring to open a bakery and showcasing her strong love for baked goods, she\u2019s not afraid to put up a fight in dangerous situations and acts as a dedicated leader amongst others. She is such a fun character to play!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m loving how much creative freedom we get in our devising process, getting to express our own ideas and ways we could present a scene using different dramatic elements. I\u2019m enjoying working with my fellow peers and Ms Walsh-Kemp and I can\u2019t wait to see how it turns out in the end!<\/span><\/p>\n

Rita<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n

I play the Narrator who is the story teller that keeps the plot moving. I play other roles to support the cast such as Father and old Lady. I am learning about acting and directing during the process as well as the costume design process. I have learnt improvisation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Angelique<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n

The character that I play – Carmen, is more reserved compared to her sisters, yet quite observant when it comes to those around her. She is the only sister that stays exactly where she is, having a connection with the nature around her. I see myself in her at times, she\u2019s very enjoyable to play. I can\u2019t wait to see how our hard work comes together in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gabby<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n

I play the middle sister, Beatrix, in the production and I think it\u2019s fair to say she\u2019s definitely the most dramatic. She goes through some emotional extremes along the way and has many adventures. I\u2019ve loved building up Beatrix\u2019s character and her relationship with her sisters, and I hope you\u2019ll fall in love with our characters as much as we have over the course of this term. We hope you will come and see the play!<\/span><\/p>\n

This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing<\/strong> will be held in The Studio (M21) at St Ursula\u2019s College on Monday 29 June (Week 11), with two performances; 4pm & 6:30pm. Tickets will be available via Trybooking closer to the performance date. The production team would like to encourage all interested students and families to consider attending this show to support the students and as a wonderful opportunity to see live theatre here at the College.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
