The Grand Theatre’s High School Project! For more than 25 years, the Grand Theatre High School Project has offered an exceptional opportunity for students to receive education and training in the working environment of a professional theatre, at no cost to the participants. High school students from the London area are mentored by professional artists and coaches in all departments (performance, stage management, props, wardrobe, scenic art, orchestra, sound, lighting, marketing, and more), culminating in a production staged on the Grand’s 839-seat theatre: the Spriet Stage. This year, the project presents the Tony and Olivier award-winning Matilda The Musical . Let’s meet some of the Old South area participating students: Learn more at grandtheatre.com/event/matilda.

CORINNE SMEENK (Props) “I love sewing and creating things out of unassuming materials, it’s so rewarding to breath new life into old or unusable things instead of throwing them away.”
ERIS MARLES (Wardrobe) “I can imagine this experience ex- panding my horizon and help me figure out what carrier path I wish to go on.”
MICHAEL DODGE (Ensemble) Micheal wanted to be involved in the High School Project as he loved the experience he had last year with The Phantom of the Opera.
ISAAC SZOLDATITS (Ensemble) “I can see this experience helping me learn what thea-tre is like on a professional scale and allow me to set my expectations for what the industry will truly be like. It will allow me to work with others who are passionate about the same craft as me.
UNA ROULSTON (Miss Honey) By being a part of the High School Project, Una is looking forward to learning to be responsible and autonomous within a production, and she also wishes to connect and work with lots of new people.
