The Proserpine Entertainment Centre will transform into the final frontier when local years one to six students make a crash landing on planet Kapzastra.
St. Catherine’s Catholic College Proserpine will beam its Junior Drama Club performers onto the stage tonight for a performance of playwright Patti Veconi’s ‘Catch The Waves’.
The 50-minute performance at Proserpine Entertainment Centre will see kids portray a team of space explorers on a mission to save Earth.
But they break down and are forced into a landing on the planet Kapzastra where they meet the local inhabitants who share their resources and unique skills to help the travellers complete their mission.
With the help of a Greek chorus of Ancients speaking in cryptic verse and the Earthlings Terra and Firma making regular appearances in hologram, every actor in this far out space adventure is a star.
The school’s Junior Drama Club students have been working hard all year on their performance in preparation for tonight’s opening according to St. Catherine’s Catholic College schoolteacher Melissa Stagg.
“The school are very excited to host the event and to give our students the opportunity to shine up on stage,” Ms Stagg said.
“They’ve been working really hard after school learning their lines and we’ve even had students from the Senior College come and help out, so it’s a whole college effort.”
This will be the first time the College has utilised the revamped Proserpine Entertainment Centre for a performance.
“They’re a little nervous because of that, but it’s all very low-key and we’re just cutting our teeth getting back into our primary school performing,” Ms Stagg said.
The Drama Club comprised roughly 50 students, each of whom are coordinating to run the production.
The show doors open from 3.30pm for a 4.00pm start, with tickets costing a gold coin donation.
