ASSUMPTION College is preparing to bring a cherished childhood story to life, with the senior production of ‘Charlie’ set to hit the stages later this month.
Scheduled for May 25, 26 and 27 at the Plenty Valley Ranges Arts and Convention Centre, the show will fill the stage with colour and imagination as more than 60 Assumption College students perform original songs and new hits in their rendition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Production coordinator Jo Porch said the school was proud of the progress made by everyone involved in the preparation of the production.
“The production crew are in an intense preparation phase, and we could not be any more in awe of the skill and artistry of the performers,” she said.
“Behind the scenes we are busy ensuring all elements of the show are in place and I have no doubt that at curtain call, the students will shine.”
Year nine student Francesco will make his production debut in the role of Charlie, while Willy Wonka will be played by year 12 student Elizabeth in her final appearance with the production team.
Family, friends and community members are invited to book tickets to the show, which can be purchased for $30 at www.pracc.com.au.
