This was the 23rd year of Stuffy ( Stuff n Nonsense ) and the cast of 40 worked hard during term 1 to ensure that they were a well-rehearsed and tight ensemble. The theme we explored was ‘Fears and Phobias ‘ which actually provided an excellent springboard for devising and finding funny stuff. The character filled cast were up for the challenge of performing to their peers over one intense week, with six day time performances and an evening show for parents and the wider Northcross community. It is always amazing to have many ex-Stuffy cast members attend these shows and this year was no exception.
The stuffy crews dynamic and masterful execution enthralled the audiences. All the Northcross staff and students enjoyed the show and supported the cast with generous applause and very positive feedback.
In term 1 the Stuffy Team had participated in the college Shakespeare competition with a 15 minute Othello piece which received fantastic feedback: “Incredible vocal clarity! Totally enjoyed throughout! Well realized choral concept, with use of movement and space. Everyone was seen. Everyone knew their role – excellently staged, cueing, energy… some riveting young performers.”
