Schools on Stage

By Alan Menken, Jack Feldman and Harvey Fierstein. Trinity College, East Perth. Directed by Paula Nicolette, Robert Brahim and Abi Acton. Gibney Hall, Trinity College, WA. May 1-3, 2025

Trinity College’s Gibney Hall was transformed for their production of Newsies, not only by the installation of raked seating, allowing everyone a great view, but with Newsies decorations drawing the audience in on their way to their seats. A polished and joyful production that spilled off the stage, the audience were clearly delighted.
