A PRODUCTION of hit musical Annie by staff and students of a Yate school has been nominated for the National School Theatre Awards
Around 100 children at Brimsham Green School played to sell-out audiences over five shows in February, including families and primary schools, who saw the dress rehearsal.
Producer and director Katie Hitchcock, the school’s head of drama, said the show was “phenomenal”.
She said: “The show included 100 students from all year groups, not only as performers but in the band, controlling the lighting and sound and taking responsibility for choreography.
“The show was a massive success – and we performed to sell-out audiences amounting to 1,000 people over five shows.
“The audience were absolutely blown away by the talent and professionalism of the show, and the incredibly high standard of the event – with many remarking that they could not believe it was a school show.
“Brimsham Green School has a long history of outstanding school productions, and this was no exception.
“This has been an absolute highlight of our school year, the students have excellent themselves with their talent, confidence and dedication to the show.”
The school will find out if it has won an award in June.
