Inverell High School 18 75th Anniversary

Drama & Music

Annual Play Nights with presentations from individual classes were a feature of the early years, but
when Mr. Alec Johnstone was appointed in 1953, much more ambitious productions were undertaken.
He had a love of drama and produced ‘Pinocchio’, ‘The Pirates of Penzance’ and ‘The Mikado’.

For a number of years, a play was the finale to Speech Night but, as school numbers increased, so did
the number of awards and it was replaced with musical items which were less time consuming.

Play nights continued until Drama became an option in the Senior Curriculum. Many major
productions involving the whole school have included: ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ (1977), ‘Dracula Spectacular’
(1979), ‘Oklahoma’ (1986), ‘Kid Stuff’ (1988), ‘Annie Get Your Gun’ (1990), ‘Music Man’ (1992),
‘Stagestruck’ (1994), ‘Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ (1997), ‘South Pacific’ (1999),
‘Summer’s End’ (2002), ‘Bats’ (2004), ‘Guys and Dolls’ (2006), ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ (2008), and
‘Footloose’ (2010).
