After months of rehearsals and a huge amount of hard work, the students in our Sixth and Third Classes were ready to take to the stage to perform Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, in Mullingar Arts Centre.
First up, on Wednesday night, were the boys and girls from Mrs Connaughton's Sixth Class. On Thursday night it was the turn of Ms Mc Laughlin's Sixth Class. Each night, the casts were ably supported by some young actors from our Third Classes. The choir was made up of our third class students and they complemented the action on stage to perfection.
Both performances were packed to the rafters and it's safe to say that the audience was not disappointed if the rapturous applause and cheers were anything to go by. 
The sets and costumes were worthy of a professional group of actors and, who knew we had such a talented group of superb actors, graceful dancers and angelic singers here in St Colman's! For many, this was their first time performing for such a large audience, but for some, I'm sure it won't be the last time we see them treading the boards. Rather, this is just the beginning of their career in the performing arts.
All in all, these two shows were resounding sucesses for all concerned. Huge thanks must go to Sarah, Sarah-Ann, Sean and the entire staff of the Arts Centre for all their help and guidance in putting together two outstanding performances and of course heartiest congratulations and well done to all our sixth and third class students. I hope you all enjoyed your time in the spotlight!
