SCHOOL GETS TEETH INTO MUSICAL IN FRONT OF PACKED AUDIENCES

Therfield School's musical show Little Shop of Horrors played to full houses on the three nights of its production last week. In all, 52 students were involved in the show from Year 7 to Year 12.

There were two casts for the leading roles. The senior cast were students from Years 10 and 9, while the junior cast were from Years 8 and 9.

This gave greater opportunity for younger students to experience the excitement of performing major musical roles.There was also a band made up of three students and two teachers playing non-stop for almost the whole performance.

Students from Years 7, 11 and 12 were part of the production and backstage team along with members of staff. All worked incredibly hard ensuring that the production went as smoothly as possible.
