The curtain has come down for another year on one of the highlights of the school calendar, and this year’s performance of ‘Grease’ will surely live long in the memory of anyone who saw it, and even longer for those who took part. The show was another triumph, with all three nights sold out before the first note had been played and audience members full of praise for the professionalism and talent on display. This was a true ensemble piece, with so many cast members getting their moment in the spotlight, whether it was their first time of getting involved, or their last. The school production has long been a celebration of the very best CGS has to offer; and students in the choir, the orchestra, the tech team and on stage all showed the talent, leadership, and the kindness to others that make these events so special.
A huge thank you goes out to all the members of staff who have supported the production by giving up their weekends since September but also the many volunteers who have given so much for the show. Special thanks are due to Ali Riley, whose choreography really helped lift this show to another level! The entire Performing Arts department would also like to extend our thanks and good luck to Mrs Katherine Jago, who after 11 years is finally hanging up her producer’s hat and retiring. What Katherine has given to drama at Caistor Grammar is beyond measure, and the levels of success we have achieved in so many of our recent plays is due in no small part to her tireless efforts in giving the students the platform to become stars. We wish her the very best for the future.
