Each year, the drama and music departments produce a fantastic production of either a musical or a play in conjunction with the Green School for Girls. They take place in the school hall, with students integral to all aspects of the production. These include acting, scoring the show’s music (often including original compositions), the design and production of stage scenery, as well as backstage duties such as wardrobe and make-up, lighting and stage management. Below is a list of these shows.
