Our Lady of Mercy College is incredibly proud to have been a significant part of the recent M² production of The Addams Family School Edition, where our talented students truly shone, both on and off stage!
The stage came alive with the macabre charm of The Addams Family School Edition, and several of our amazing OLMC students delivered outstanding performances, captivating audiences with their acting and singing. Three of our Year 12 performing arts students shone in their roles as Morticia, played by Madeleine K (12 A6), Wednesday, played by Jasmine P (12 A3), and Alice Beineke, played by Charlotte W (12 M2). Their dedication and hard work throughout rehearsals was evident, as they brought their characters to life. We extend a huge congratulations to all our performers for their incredible contributions to such a memorable show.
Beyond the spotlight, our students from the Live Production class have been instrumental in ensuring the success of the musical. These students have been working behind the scenes, gaining invaluable real-world experience in various crucial roles. From working the lighting design, to managing backstage operations, their professionalism and commitment were evident in every aspect of the production. They also took on the vital role of front of house, ensuring there were refreshments for the audience. They transformed the foyer of the theatre with their creative decorations, creating a spooky and fun atmosphere.
We extend our sincere gratitude to staff members Hayley Gamble-Curran and Felicia Taine. Their invaluable expertise and guidance empowered our Live Production students and the entire cast. They provided practical skills and fostered a collaborative, supportive atmosphere where every student could truly shine.
The M² production of The Addams Family School Edition has been a tremendous success, and it truly highlights the incredible, diverse talents of our students. Their dedication, alongside that of our staff, allow them to contribute to such a high-quality production.
