Breaking the System Cast Diary

Day One - Read Through
Day one started with a read through and already the Directors are over the moon with the commitment and focus the cast are producing. After the read through, the cast moved onto character building, including working on emotional connection between characters, voice delivery and characterisation. The Directors have explained their expectations and standards throughout the project and we all can't wait to see this come to life. By Joe Russell (Producer) |

The rehearsals for Breaking the system are way underway. It's really great to see the passion of the cast and supporting local youth production crew, Maisy Jo and Lily Cotton. The vocals are sounding amazing, run by Musical Director Cloudy Davey. The choreography by Maisy Jo, the whole show is starting to really come together. Great job cast and crew.
