Our show for 2011
We have chosen our show for next year - Crazy for You.
This will be directed by Andy McKnight, with Billy
Cairns as MD and Angela Harding
choreographing once more. It's probably too soon to say if Angela will
be appearing on stage again, following her stunning comeback performance
in March in Meet
Me in St Louis!
AIMS Nominations
Congratulations to David Thompson, who was nominated for Best Male Singer
for his performance as John Truitt in our March production of Meet
Me in St Louis.
Youth Group Disco
Our end of year Disco took place on Friday 28 May in Little Flower School
and was a great success. The fancy dress theme was A Night at
the Movies. Sarah Reid won the prize for the best costume (Transformer),
while Owen Murray won the proze for the most inventive costume (Fat B**tard
from Austin Powers).
Recent performances
Hello, Dolly!
Our Youth Group performed Hello, Dolly! in the Courtyard Theatre, Ballyearl from Wed 21 April to Sat 24 April. This popular show includes the songs Put on your Sunday clothes, Before the parade passes by and the title track that was a hit for Louis Armstrong way back in 1968. Click here to see the cast list.
The Youth Group is a cross-community collection of highly talented children. Many of our youth members have graduated to our adult group. In our recent production of Meet Me in St Louis, Sinead O'Kelly played the lead role of Esther Smith to great acclaim, Becki Fleming was dance captain, and the chorus featured a number of current and recent youth members.
Meet me in St Louis
Our
show for 2010 was Meet
Me in St Louis. Based on the 1944 movie which starred Judy
Garland, it is set in the run-up to the 1904 World's Fair and features
such favourites as The Boy Next Door, Skip to My Lou,
The Trolley Song, and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
We were delighted that Wilfie Pyper agreed to direct us for the first time. Wilfie has a wealth of experience of directing and performing, and we all enjoyed working with him.
Billy Cairns again took the reins as musical director, with choreography by Angela Harding.
The show ran from Mon 1-Sat 6 Mar 2010 in the Waterfront Studio and was sold out for most of the seven performances.
