The recent production by Edgemead High School of the musical Annie was a resounding success, playing as it did to full, appreciative houses, the school said last week.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staged in the school hall from Wednesday 7 May to Saturday 10 May, it saw a total of seven performances, six of them nearly fully booked and the final evening completely sold out, Bianke Bekker, head of performing arts and of music, said. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the cast comprised 41 members supported by a backstage, hair and make-up crew of 26 individuals. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The orchestra included 21 musicians, seven of whom were current high-school learners, one a recent matriculant, three members of the high-school music staff and several external professionals.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dedication\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The production team consisted of 10 dedicated staff members, fulfilling roles such as producer, director, musical director, set design and construction, costume design, hair and make-up.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The puppet, “Sandy the Dog”, was handcrafted by Merryn Carver, Cape Town-based theatre maker, designer and puppet maker, Bekker said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auditions were held in October last year, with rehearsals commencing the following month.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The cast dedicated their entire first-term holiday and the special schools’ holiday week to intensive rehearsals,” said Bekker. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the school’s commitment to delivering a professional theatre experience, its school hall was transformed into a fully-equipped theatre space.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This included constructing a stage extension, installing tiered audience seating and using high-end sound and lighting equipment provided by Live and Direct. Our ultimate aim at the high school is to offer learners an unforgettable experience.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edgemead High School presents a large-scale musical biennially, the next scheduled for 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
