THE theatre has come to Notre Dame College with its new Blackbox Theatre venue, which opened with two shows of the Year 10 play, The Importance of Being Earnest, on Thursday, November 20. It was followed up by the Junior Play, Haters, on Thursday, November 27.
“One of the really good things about our performing arts culture at the school is that while obviously the staff have contributed, a lot of the junior students learn and absorb from the senior students. It’s one of the things I love about it, you really see that in action,” said Junior Play Director Neroli Cochrane.
The intimate space seats roughly 60 people and is suited for plays and small productions like the performances by the Year 10 and Junior Play last month.
“I just love how the shows, for me, feels so diverse, and how everyone is so different with their characters and how they play them, and we just like bounce off each other. It’s so funny as well,” said year 9 student Immy Maskell.
