Drama and Theatre
It has been a busy first few weeks for the Arts at Redlands. Last Friday was the first In-Person at The Concourse Gala Arts Festival for over two years. There was incredible House Spirit and talent that the audience was able to witness and now the students can still feel the buzz from the evening moving into the week. Below are some photos from the evening and the winners of each category. A big congratulations to all the staff, students, Alumni and parents for supporting this incredible event.
Redlands Musical Announcement 2023
THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family — a man her parents have never met.
And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before — keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on a fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents.
This is a show that has proven itself over and over with a multitude of productions being staged globally. The original Broadway production ran for 722 performances.
AND NOW ITS OUR TURN REDLANDS. AUDITION INFORMATION WILL BE COMING OUT IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS.

Extra-subject Drama and Theatre
Classes are going well. If you want to enrol your child please contact drama@redlands.nsw.edu.au. Some classes are at capacity and have a waitlist.
A few reminders below:
The Extra Subject Drama and Theatre Program automatically renews at the end of Semester 1. Parents do not need to contact the drama office unless they wish to change their enrolment. Billing takes place prior to the commencement of Semester 2. Four weeks’ written notice to drama@redlands.nsw.du.au is required if you wish to withdraw from the program.
Please communicate with your child about their extra-curricular classes in the morning. We have had cases where students are in the car line or their designated pick-up spot and have needed to be located before class starts. Please ensure any absences are sent to drama@redlands.nsw.edu or your child’s class tutor prior to the lesson.
