The long awaited announcement is finally over for the 2023 Musical Prodution. Don College Musical Theatre will present ...(drumroll)... 

Musical Theatre 2C will be offered as a year-long level 2 course in 2023. This is an excellent opportunity for students to be involved in the performing arts at Don College. 

We thank students and staff for joining in the fun of guessing our title. For those of you trying to work out how the hints matched up, here is the inside scoop!

• ‘School of Rock’ is indeed a book, TV series and stage Musical, originally made most famous by the movie. Who could possibly forget Jack Black’s interpretation of Dewey.
• There was a hint in the opening line of each post… did you pick it? “We can’t wait to ‘mould your minds’”… just like teachers do!
• The fun fact revealed on Tuesday was that in 1970, a teacher in British Columbia recorded a bunch of children at four schools in his district singing choral versions of pop hits of the time. They were re-discovered in an archive in the year 2000 and once released, formed a cult following. This brought forward the idea of the story.
• Wednesday’s hint saw the appearance of a black and white logo that said ‘This is a hint’. Jack BLACK wrote many of the classroom songs that appear in the stage musical and Mike WHITE was the screenwriter who also starred in the film as Dewey’s roommate, Ned Schneebly.
• Andrew Lloyd Webber added School of Rock to his list of composer roles and we are proud to announce that our production will bring School of Rock to the North West Coast for the first time! We love a good Premier!

Why this show? Why now? ‘School of Rock’ will focus on the important theme of ‘be comfortable in your own skin’. After such a challenging few years, particularly for the performing arts, we encourage our students not to conform to societies expectations but to rock your knowledge and share it with anyone who will listen!

We can’t wait! Will you join us?
