As September rolled around we kicked off another exciting term with our Junior and Senior Musical Theatre Productions in Full Swing and we couldn't be more thrilled with the progress of our BRILLIANT casts so far. We are especially excited to have formed a Drumcondra Musical Theatre Company which is shaping up to be very special indeed!
In Clonskeagh we are going to be performing Disney’s Frozen Jr - The auditions were filled with fun and laughter and we found ourselves with a fantastic group of talented actors to take on the roles of Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Hans and Sven alongside a host of other characters too - there are 30 roles in this show and we are delighted to have 30 students taking part!
This year Jordan Brown is taking on direction and choreography of the Musical with Musical Direction from Ellen West.
The performances will take place in The Sean O’Casey Theatre at the beginning of April 2025 and tickets will be available from our ITW Website Shop from early in the spring.
In Drumcondra we are going to be performing Disney’s Aladdin Kids Our wonderful Singing coach Hailey Rose Lynch is taking the reigns and Directing this production with help from ITW Senior Student and assistant Teacher Aine Batt O’Brien who is working on the Choreography. The Drumcondra Company will be supported by various dance class groups from Drumcondra so this is going to be a school wide opportunity and production.
We are buzzing as our Aladdin Cast has just been announced last week and they are gearing up for an EPIC Production.
Both of these productions will have the opportunity to travel to Birmingham and perform in the MTI Festival along with other Stageschools from all across the UK, Ireland and the rest of Europe, this is a perfect opportunity to perform on the International Stage!!
Our Senior Musical Theatre Cast also kicked off this term with Rehearsals for ‘Unpopular’, a stunning showcase of Stephen Scwartz music. We are particularly excited about incorporating projection mapping into this production which we will be doing right here in our Clonskeagh Home Studios. The talent we have in the room every Sunday from 4-6 is just INCREDIBLE, and we can't wait to share this unique show with our audiences.
