The showcase gives a flavour of the range of work studied on the course and an example of the collaborative ethos of the college’s Music, Media and Performance department.

Course leader Donna Turner said: “I’m really looking forward to showcasing what promises to be another winning production. The students have thoroughly enjoyed working on some of the best contemporary plays and musicals around.

“The Extended Diploma students have shown great imagination and creativity in rising to the challenge of directing and choreographing their peers on the Diploma course, which is marvellous preparation for them as they prepare to work within the industry or progress to university or Drama School.”
