THE Stanthorpe community enjoyed a successful musical showcased by St Joseph’s School on Friday and Saturday, 7-8 June.
Celebrating over a decade of performing school musicals St Joseph’s students did not disappoint and provided an entertaining and exhilarating performance of the popular musical Man of Steel.
Audiences were entertained by the goofy humour, excellent singing and bursts of laughter throughout the show.
Reviews from various members of the community have been positive with several returning again for the Saturday performance.
Among Friday night’s audience enjoying the show was the director of the Catholic Education Office Toowoomba, John Borserio and his wife Anne, senior education officer Suzanne Cavanagh, Parish Priest Father Brian Connolly, retired Priest Father Lino Valente, and Esther Dowling.
Students thoroughly enjoyed presenting the hilarious musical and showcasing their many months of rehearsals, commitment and hard work.
St Joseph’s administrator Angie Smith said the school was very fortunate to have the pool of talent they have at present.
“We relish the opportunity to give these young people a unique cultural experience,” she said.
“All students were wonderful ambassadors for the school.”
Congratulations were also extended to the staff including musical producer Donna Gerster, musical director Pauline Leigh, David Fleming and the dedicated band of volunteers and supporters who all assisted in putting together another wonderful school musical.
