*CAST TALENT ONLINE FESTIVAL RESULTS*

We are absolutely thrilled with the number of entries we received and the exceptionally high standard of performances. 🎭

Our adjudicator had a very difficult job - these are her comments...

‘I just wanted to send a note to say well done and thank you! I am so inspired by how much hard work, creativity, time and effort has gone into all the entries. I hope you are proud of yourselves for continuing, against all odds, to have fun. In a difficult year, it is so amazing to see that in spite of it all you are still laughing, still playing, still putting on silly voices, and still imagining. This is so important when we’re performing because if we are having fun, our audience will too!’

The actual results will follow, and prizes and certificates will be given out after Easter. 🤩

Please keep your eyes peeled for our 1st place videos soon to appearing on your newsfeed!
You are all in for a massive treat! 😁

AND THE RESULTS ARE IN...

As our young people couldn’t compete as usual in the Lagan Festival this year we created one in conjunction with CAST School of Speech and Drama and Dramarama.

We are thrilled with the number of entries we received, and a huge thank you to Claire Handley for her awesome adjudication ❤️

Results will be circulated round all our groups shortly and some of the winning videos will be posted on our pages over the next few days.
Well done to everyone who took part 🎭

We are so proud of two of our students from Campbell College, Harry McDowell (Y8) and Tristan Bailie (Y9) who each won 1st place in their year performing in the schools online poetry speaking competition.
