Guess who managed to make it into the cast of this year’s Junior Production?

Yep, that’s right, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to act in the Junior Production again - Alhamdulillah! I kicked last week off with my Junior Production audition - something I had admittedly been rather nervous about for the past few weeks. But when it finally came to it, the audition went much better than all of the various catastrophic situations I had imagined and worried about in my head! In fact, the audition was quite fun to take part in, and we got a taster of what the production was like as well. And now, I’m glad to see that all the hard work has paid off - I’m excited to be part of another school production once more!

Previously, I’ve been involved in the Junior Production every year (excluding last year, thanks to good ol’ Covid). In my first year at KES, I acted in the school’s production of ‘Around The World In 80 Days’ - I was cast as the Parsee, the Indian merchant who owned an elephant and helped an Englishman travel safely across India. The following year, I was cast in the school’s adaptation of Peter Pan, this time as a grumpy park keeper who turned out to be part of the band of pirates in Neverland. It’s an honour to be part of something so wonderful this year as well - I’ll be telling you all more about my more demanding role in the coming days!

Auf Wiedersehen,
