Over 60 students from Rosses Community School in Dungloe are gearing up for their stage production of School of Rock that premiers in the school gym on Tuesday, April 21 and will run for four nights.
Ionad Sport na Rosann has been a hive of activity for months now with preparations and rehearsals keeping the students and teachers on their toes to ensure they pull off yet another successful RCS event.
Renowned for their stage productions over the years, the staff and pupils at Rosses CS are promising yet another excellent and must-see production.
Teacher Laura Boyle, who is involved in the production, told the Donegal News that it has been all go for some time now, adding they are looking forward to opening night on Tuesday.
“There are around 60 students involved between main cast, dancers, chorus and backstage. We have students from all year groups but mostly from transition year and 5th year, with some first and second year students in the chorus and in our dance troupe,” she said.
Laura revealed that although they have a fantastic team of school staff working as part of the team, no staff members are taking to the stage, but said they will be supporting the cast all the way.
The opening night next Tuesday is already sold out, tickets are available for Wednesday 22 and Thursday 23, with limited tickets for closing night on Friday 24.
Doors open Tuesday at 6pm, and at 6.30pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Tickets are available at the school office.
