Pardon me? You...want to know about Guys and Dolls? Well, it happened to me kind of funny...like..a dream, and oh.. how fortunate was I to be living that dream twice a week for months, fiddling with a play filled with romantic love stories and of course, everyone's favourite, illegal gambling! And what a marvellous dream it was, too, to be up on that stage for three nights straight with the dazzling lights shining down on me, an eager and receptive audience glaring intimidatingly at me, and a brilliant cast from actors, musicians to the stage crew, the technicians, and of course, the wonderful teachers all there to make that dream a flawless reality.
But.. I would be lying to myself if I say that it has always been perfect or flawless, because there were too many occasions where we were all convinced that this dream would become a nightmare, and counting the number of times Ms Sargent threatened to kill us is virtually impossible! In the end, however, we managed to pull through with the encouragement from our wonderful directors and delivered three amazing show nights. But what's even more important is that on our strenuous march towards the show nights, we formed bonds and friendships that will never be forgotten, and, well, that's the best part of it all!
Next year's production? Well, I suppose I'd leave that to chance. And...chemistry.

It is difficult to describe how hard the students worked to create ‘Guys and Dolls’ and how proud we all are of them for such an amazing performance. Before Easter the cast gave three evenings of music, love, laughs and tension to large and appreciative audiences. They not only delivered the storyline and songs of the show but made us fall in love with their characters, sympathise with their troubles and celebrate their successes.
It is always wonderful to see students having the confidence to perform and the cast of Guys and Dolls proved that with hard work and passion you really can create something wonderful.
