Lincoln High kicks off
Footloose production
LINCOLN HIGH School
students premiered their
Footloose production last night.
Many months of rehearsals
and perfecting dance moves paid
off when the students kicked off
the three-night performance of
the hit 1984 movie last night.
The story centres around a
teenager entering a small town
and shaking things up when he
finds out there are strict rules
around music and dancing and
tries to change the rules in the
community.
Staff and students started
planning for the performance
mid last year, hosting auditions
in October and working since
then to make the show perfect
by opening night.
Biennially the high school
puts on a production, this year
the cast and crew of around 100
have been spending many after
school hours and lunch times
practising.
Lincoln High’s drama head
of department Sandra McLean
said the students have had a lot
to balance.
“The students have done really
well, considering they have had
school work, sports and other
commitments as well as the
production. I think we have
battled every cold and bug under
the sun,” Mrs McLean said.
GOSSIP: Maise Wood playing Ariel, Ella Waswo playing
Wendy Jo, Nilani Ekanayake playing Urleen and Kate Scott

SCHOOL
Students have been embracing
the 80s look and they have
‘had a ball’ putting the show
together.
The show is running tonight,
Wednesday and Thursday night.
To get tickets phone the school
office on 325 2121.
