Year 7 Perform Romeo & Juliet at The Belgrade Theatre

The cast of Romeo and Juliet from The Bridge performed their play at The Belgrade Theatre. They attended a full professional technical and dress rehearsal in the morning and then wowed the audience on the night. They performed as part of The Shakespeare Schools Festival, along with Edgewick Primary School.  

The students had a great experience! 

"Romeo and Juliet rehearsals were tough and tricky but the process was fun. We learnt a lot about projecting our voices, blocking and theatre etiquette. We had a theatre professional come to our school for a workshop which helped us to 'land our lines!' Shannon and Mya

"I had the experience of a lifetime doing Romeo and Juliet. I decided to do this because I thought it would be a great gateway to an acting career; and it is! It has helped with my stage fright as I have ended up with a small part. It has been so much fun performing with everyone!" Eliot 
"The Belgrade was so much fun! I had a great time and got to experience so many fun things! I made lots of new friends and I felt like I could express my feeling, especially as Romeo. Overall, it has been amazing and if I could do it all again, I would!" Seb

"It takes ages to learn your lines but it is all worth it! The stage is beyond anything and the feeling of everyone seeing you is really exciting." Wren 

Mrs Arnett said, "The process this year was tough, but the cast pulled through and showed their commitment to the performance process. They were so mature in the tech and dress rehearsal and had lots of positive comments on the night. Well done all!"
