No business like showbusiness...!
Over the Easter break, our students have been taking to the stage in a range of productions.
Many of our students take part in theatre groups, children's theatre productions and holiday projects and the past couple of months have been very busy!
Reasons to Dance: Lucy May Lagan (14) was a cast member in the National Theatre of Scotland production whichwas a multi-media site specific performance based on workshops held over a number of months.
Anything Goes: Lynsey Craig joined the company of Boness Amateuar Operatic Society as a dancer in the production and her sister Hannah played "Virtue". The show also starred Mr Clark as a very drunken "Mr Whitney"!
