Want to watch our students in their production of Carrie the Musical or Alice?

Adapted from Stephen King's 1974 novel, Carrie the Musical stars an awkward teenage girl with an oppressive religious mother.

At school, Carrie is an outcast who feels invisible until she discovers that she's got a special power, and if pushed too far, she's not afraid to use it!

Carrie the Musical - 24 May or 25 May.

Based on Lewis Carroll's classic tale, Alice breathes fresh life into a much-loved story about rabbit holes, pocket watches and talking caterpillars. The White Rabbit is late for the Duchess. The Cheshire Cat won't stop grinning. And the Hatter is, well, mad.

In the middle of it all is Alice, a young girl with a vivid imagination and a family life that's less than perfect. Follow Alice as she escapes her home and troubles  to find adventure in a topsy-turvy world.

Alice - 8 June or 9 June

You will receive a complimentary ticket to watch one show – tickets are subject to availability.
