School theatre extravaganza

Bunjil Place will play host to an amazing musical-theatre treat next month when over 200 local students compete in the annual Schools on Stage extravaganza.

Set to join them on stage on Thursday 5 September will be one of Australia’s most versatile and loved entertainers: Tim Campbell.

Mr Campbell is a star of both stage and screen, with a starring role on ‘Home and Away’ and lead roles onstage in ‘Wicked’, ‘Rent’ and ‘Shout!’ under his belt.

The event will entertain audiences with a non-stop musical rollercoaster ride.

Performances will be accompanied by the magic that only a live orchestra can bring.

The students will strive to do their best as they perform well-loved musical theatre show tunes on the big stage.

Performers will compete to discover which local school will be crowned the 2019 Schools on Stage champion.

Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon commented that Schools on Stage is a fantastic celebration to highlight the performing arts talents of Casey’s young people.

“It is an exciting competition but, more importantly, the event encourages our young people to take part in extra-curricular activities, strengthening their connection to the school community, and helping them to make new friends and build important skills,” she said.

When he’s not ‘Dancing with the Stars’ or entertaining on Channel 9’s ‘Carols by Candlelight’, Tim is performing classic 70s and 80s dance floor hits with his band. He will also be the star act for the Casey Cardinia Foundation’s Annual Charity Dinner being held on Friday 11 October.
