'Seussical the Musical'

RS is a theatre group open to young people aged 13-25. The group perform a wide range of shows from musicals, pantomimes and variety performances. Some of their previous shows include: ‘Oliver!’, ‘Little Shop of Horrors’, ‘Back to the 80s’, ‘Cinderella’, ‘Aladdin’ and ‘Grease’. 

All the shows are self-funded through fundraising events such as Quiz Nights and Race Nights allowing the performers to experience the highest quality theatre experience possible.

Alex Downer directs the shows accompanied by Kate Downer’s choreography.

The group is tight-knit and friendly advocating the team effort that must go into performing.
