In the spirit of ‘the show must go on’, the Years 7/8/9 drama production of The Snow arose like the phoenix from the COVID Lockdown Ashes of 2021.

A huge and heartfelt congratulations to the cast for demonstrating perseverance and resilience in keeping the creative embers alive through the lockdown and summer holidays – they pulled the show together with eight rehearsals this year and managed to dodge COVID and perform three fabulous shows!

With humour and high energy, the cast worked seamlessly as an ensemble to deliver a play with a timely message about how compassion, courage and kindness can break down the walls that divide humanity.

Many thanks to Jemima Mordike (Collegian, Class of 2016) for her work as Assistant Director and Stage Manager. It was wonderful to have an ex-student working creatively with current students, highlighting professional pathways in the Arts from Drama at school, to a Bachelor of Performance degree (Wollongong University), to the workforce.

Special thanks to Nick Akhurst and his Tech Crew and a thunderous digital applause to Tim Minehan with his Media Crew (Reuben Smith, Conall Barry, Bram Johnson and Sophie Purvis) for enabling us to bring the show to life for our audiences.

Onwards and upwards for live performance at Radford!
