Students ready to shine in Assumption College production

Assumption College will bring a cherished childhood story to life when students and staff present the senior production ‘Charlie’.

Scheduled on 25, 26 and 27 May, at the Plenty Valley Ranges Arts & Convention Centre, the stage will be filled with colour, and immense imagination with over 60 Assumption College students performing original songs and new hits in their rendition of the loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The character of Charlie will be brought to life by Year 9 student Francesco in what will be sure to be an impressive debut. Willy Wonka will be played by Year 12 student Elizabeth, in her final appearance with the production team.

“The production crew are in an intense preparation phase, and we could not be any more in awe of the skill and artistry of the performers,” said producation co-ordinator Jo Porch.

“Behind the scenes we are busy ensuring all elements of the show are in place and I have no doubt that at curtain call, the students will shine.”

Family, friends and community members are invited to book tickets to the show, in what will be a professional and fabulous fun filled night at an impressive venue.

Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at www.pracc.com.au
