NIPA’s production of Oh What a Lovely War, performed in December, was warmly received by all audiences. Cast members and crew are to be congratulated on their enthusiasm and energy in bringing together such a successful production. For many of the cast – including the staff choir – this was their first taste of public performance at SBL, and they all rose to the occasion admirably. Once again many comments were received from audience members, praising students on their maturity and professionalism on performance nights. Many of the students involved as performers and technical crew were being assessed as part of their BTEC Performing Arts course and will be rewarded with excellent marks. Many thanks to all those of you who supported the production. We look forward to seeing you at the next NIPA performance. |

As the performance week for Oh What a Lovely War! approaches we will begin rehearsing on Sundays as well. This extra time enables the cast to consolidate what has been rehearsed so far and to put further time into rehearsing large sections of the piece. Nearer the performance week there will also be greater opportunities for rehearsing with lighting, set, costume, props, sound and the band.
Rehearsals will start at 10.00am prompt and finish at 3.00pm. Students need to be dressed in suitable clothing and bring a packed lunch and snacks. It is vitally important to bring lots of water to drink – many students often forget and this greatly affects their energy levels in rehearsal. As happens at present, some students may only be needed for a certain part of the rehearsal; this information will be passed onto students as soon as possible and also published on the NIPA website.
The site is also used to pass on information in general about the performance and all students need to check it regularly. In the coming weeks we will begin collecting costumes and props – again all information will be put on the NIPA website.
Attached is an updated rehearsal schedule for both Wednesday and Sunday rehearsals – please check carefully. If your son/daughter is unable to attend a rehearsal can they please inform a member of the team at least 24 hours beforehand – this allows us to make changes to the rehearsal plan if needed.
Tickets will be on sale towards the end of November and this will be publicised via the school newsletter and website. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of your son/daughter’s involvement in the production.

We must apologise for the misunderstanding over the Oh What a Lovely War rehearsal this Wednesday. Apparently the date had been included on the rehearsal schedule – this was an error that we were unaware of until that evening.
Rehearsals continue as normal from Wednesday 12th September when much of the final casting will be done.
Please don’t let the events of this Wednesday curb your enthusiasm – we still have a lot of hard work ahead of us! We look forward to seeing you next week.
