Knox Academy NC Acting and Theatre Performance (Musical Theatre) students are presenting 3HREE! (a series of three exciting musicals) on Tuesday 14 June and Wednesday 15 June 2011 at 7 pm.
Let the Musical Theatre students of Knox Academy entertain you in their final year production. We are delighted to bring to the stage three, completely different, short musicals... all shown in one night.
The Lavender Girl
by John Bucchino
Directed by Miss Whitfield, Musical Director: Miss Brown
Meet Emily... a young girl who wants to have one night of dancing and fun. Meet Colin... a young man who will never forget the young girl he met on the Hill. Set in the 1920s this story is a timeless tale of love, loss and life.
Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens
by Bill Russell
Directed by Mr Campbell, Musical Director: Miss Orr
Not quite a play, not really a musical, Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens is more of a theatrical celebration of life, pieced together like a collage of poetry, free verse, monologues, song and choreography. This piecing together was inspired by the Names Quilt Project, a symbol of love and commemoration for people who have died from AIDS.
Elegies has been performed all around the world. The secret to its popularity is that the production illustrates a very sad fact in a very humble and often light-hearted way: AIDS Can Kill Anyone. It's one of those home truths that can never be repeated enough and if the numbers on seats is anything to go by, people still want to hear it.
If you love life, if you have ever loved and lost, if you are prepared to cry and laugh out loud then this production if for you!
