College Production

In 2025, St Brendan-Shaw College presents Legally Blonde The Musical as this year’s musical production. Offered as a biennial elective subject, Production is open to students from Years 9–12, with many also involved through co-curricular participation in Years 7-8. The College has built a strong reputation for high-quality, professional performances that bring the Arts to life for our school and broader community.

Past productions include Pippin (2023), We Will Rock You (2021), Chicago: High School Edition (2019), Oliver! (2017), The Little Mermaid (2015), and Beauty and the Beast (2013). Each show highlights the creative talents of our students—on stage and behind the scenes.

The Production program provides rich, hands-on learning for students interested in acting, singing, dancing, and music, as well as technical and backstage roles such as lighting, sound, make-up, costume, and event coordination. It’s an experience many students describe as a highlight of their time at the College.

While rehearsals are primarily scheduled during the school day, additional after-hours or weekend sessions may be required as performance week approaches. Prior experience in performance can be helpful, though it is not essential. What matters most is a spirit of contribution and collaboration. The production experience fosters confidence, encourages creative growth, and builds a strong sense of community among students across year levels.
