A colourful comedy

28 Aug - 12 Sep

Don’t miss the hilarious new comedy by Amy McDonald!

From the playwright behind this fresh and heartfelt story comes a comedy packed with wit, warmth and wonderfully relatable characters.

Directed by award-winning director Helen Maden, who last year brought audiences The Universe Has Your Back, this brand-new production promises an unforgettable night at the theatre.

From betrayal to beach life and belly dancing, Audrey won’t let go without a fight when her ex tries to steal her sunshine.

Full of laughs, heart and a healthy dose of seaside charm, this fresh new comedy will have you leaving the theatre smiling. Gather your friends and join us for a truly entertaining night—you won’t want to miss it!

Footloose The Musical

SENIOR MUSICAL THEATRE - Youth

Halpin Auditorium

Everybody cut loose!

17 Sep - 19 Sep

Spotlight’s Senior Musical Theatre students explode onto the stage with Footloose, a high-energy story of rebellion, freedom and finding the courage to make your voice heard.

When Ren arrives in a town where dancing is forbidden, a battle between generations begins. Bursting with iconic songs, electrifying choreography and heart, sometimes change starts by refusing to stand still.

A theatrical stage scene with multiple performers dressed in costumes, some with floral crowns, and a man in a white coat holding a staff. Colorful stage lighting creates a dramatic atmosphere, with a large circular shadow or prop in the background.
