COMMUNITY
Stop the Presses!
The annual College musical has again been
a hallmark experience for the College. Stop
the Presses featured not one musical, but
the best songs and scenes from seven of
Broadway’s finest musicals, including
Come From Away, Matilda, Sister Act,
Newsies, Wicked, Billy Elliot and Hamilton.
A cast and crew of 70 students presented
5 sold out performances to very
enthusiastic audiences.
Director Nina Richards themed the
production around ‘hope from adversity’
and selected 10-15minute song scenes for
each musical. Musical Directors Antony
Hubmayer and Mark Stefanoff compiled an
excellent soundtrack and with the support
of Jessica Mills, Kristen Hardy, Irena
Setchell and Janna Romeo, the cast sung,
acted and danced to perfection.
The Production Team, cast and crew
created an enthralling show that had
audiences laughing and crying, and once
again, amazed at the talent and high
performing standards that our Scotch
students achieved.
We acknowledge our Stage and Lighting
Coordinator Craig Williams, Stage Manager
Nick Setchell, Costume Designer Carolyn
Bosko and Suzanne Atkins, publicity Alex
Dimos and Administrative Assistant Essie
Kruckemeyer, who have all been invaluable
to the success of the show. We remain
thankful to Mosaic Audio and Visual for
their generous sponsorship of the show.
If you ever need a sound, light or AV system
for an event, Craig and his team have the
know-how and will make it happen for you!
