Making a splash

The Junior Theatre Company put on a hugely entertaining performance of "Splash" – A Musical Comedy straight out of the Ark – after school on Friday

Made up of girls from Year 5 and Year 6 the Junior Theatre Company is part of the School’s extra-curricular programme, providing the girls with an opportunity to hone their practical performance skills, as well as have a great deal of fun.

“Splash” is a musical comedy version of Noah's Ark - told from the animals' point of view. Preston Parrot is on a mission to save his animal friends from the greatest flood in history. But when no one believes his news, he resorts to a little deception and arranges a luxury cruise on board "The Ark!" With a crew of colourful characters, including ballroom dancing giraffes, cheerleading mice and a band of pirate rats, the girls were able to show their comic timing off to great effect.

Head of Prep Drama, Ms Bevan, said “I was exceptionally proud of all the girls this evening and how much energy and effort they put into their performance. Seeing them develop throughout the duration of the academic year has been an absolute pleasure and they put on a truly fabulous show for their audience – what a fantastic way to end the week.”
