Musicals

School Musicals

Since 1992, the students of Catherine McAuley School have performed in musicals on a regular basis. Old favourites like ‘HMS Pinafore’, ‘The Pirates of Penzance’, ‘The Wizard’, ‘Oliver Twist’ and ‘The Story of Joseph’ have been performed to great local acclaim.

Starting in 2008, Mr Declan Bromell has written and directed a brand new musical every two years. These musicals with pupils from each section of the school were originally staged in our school hall before moving to Mary Immaculate College in 2012 for the first production of Hoods and then graduating to the Limetree Theatre in 2014 for The River of Time.
