Speech & Drama
Sister Act
Rehearsals for this year’s musical theatre production have undoubtedly been different to to any other Thanks to to technology and the drama department’s dedication we we were able to continue rehearsals virtually – an an absolute saviour for many of us in lockdown! We found ourselves singing and dancing in in in in bedrooms and developing our quirky characters It has been incredibly rewarding being able to to transfer our hard work online to to the reality of the the Rogers Theatre stage ‘Sister Act’ is is the the ultimate ‘feel-good’ musical and and the cast and and crew hope that we have been able to provide the perfect antidote to this past year of uncertainty Boo Forbes – Lower Sixth Drama
