Parade has a proud history in supporting the arts and musical theatre, and the annual College musical and drama productions are two integral parts of the College calendar each year. Hosted in Parade’s own state of the art Rivergum Theatre, the productions foster a positive and collaborative environment for students of all year levels. Primarily student-driven, we encourage students to be as involved in the production process as possible from performing on-stage as part of the cast to working behind-the-scenes in numerous backstage roles such as stage managing, stagehands, lighting, projection, audio, costume, hair and make-up, props and ushering.
Both the annual musical and drama production are performed in conjunction with a local Catholic girls school and are a core component of Parade’s co-educational offerings. Parade’s productions are held in high esteem and many of our past productions and performers have been nominated for Music Theatre Guild Awards.
