The Curse of Ealing!
Stagecoach Performing Arts Ealing students took centre stage on the 23rd March in a spectacularly dramatic piece based on Pirates of the Caribbean entitled ‘The Curse of Ealing at the iconic Shaftesbury Theatre on London’s West End.
Eighteen young performers, aged 10 to 17, all from Ealing, joined Stagecoach schools from across the country to deliver a spectacular showcase of musical theatre. With months of rehearsals and dedication, the troupe performed songs including ‘Down the Witches Road’ (Agatha All Along) and ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean Theme Song.’
Principal Valerie Weyland said:
‘Some of the students have been with us for years and others have just joined and have very little experience but each and every one of them was a star and we couldn’t be prouder of them, the theatre erupted with applause when they had finished. What a wonderful memory for our talented students.’
Student Channelle has been attending Stagecoach Ealing for many years:
‘It was especially nice to see how the newcomers improved and stepped up to create such an exciting performance. It was a great experience that grew our teamwork and performing skills’.
