For the first time in 12 years, Proserpine State School students will take to the stage for the first of two drama performances tonight.
Over 55 local students from grades four, five, and six have starring roles in ‘A Tale Of Two Kitties A Catty Musical’ – an original production written by Proserpine State High School teachers 15 years ago.
The story is a classic set-up: A country cat with big dreams heads to the big city to become a popstar, entering a talent show called ‘The Meow’ – a singing competition like The Voice.
There, she meets the evil city cat who becomes a fierce rival and the two kitties face off in a chase for their dreams of fame and fortune with an ensemble cast to back them up.
Proserpine State School teacher Karen Jordan said they pulled the old script out of the drawer and revamped it for their first musical in over a decade.
“We hadn’t done a production in so long that a group of us teachers came together and reworked this older one, adding modern songs and a few extra things,” she said.
“We had a new music teacher come into the school and the time just seemed right, so we said: ‘Let’s bring back the musical!’”
Ms Jordan said the students had impressed in auditions with their singing capabilities, especially the youngster who will take on the role of ‘Catty Purry’ – a pun on the name of American singer-songwriter Katy Perry.
The production has been in the works for almost a year, and Ms Jordan said the nerves were high for the performance which takes place at Proserpine State High School’s Performing Arts Complex.
“I told them though that there’s nothing like the feeling of being a part of a musical on opening night,” she said.
