Narnia Auditions




This afternoon the second round of auditions for the Narnia play were held. The play is taking place in the Town Hall in June. At the moment we are casting the many speaking parts. The children in secondary were auditioning today and did really well. A panel of Mr Jewell, Miss Oakley, Deborah the Head Girl, and Ruth who is visiting the school on work experience, all graded the children in various categories. They all did really well. After the auditions we are sure it will be a very exciting performance!
