Mamma Mia!

Mamma Mia! is shaping up to be a show you will not want to miss – and trust me, by the final curtain, you’ll be saying Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! More.

Our incredible cast, crew, and band are deep in rehearsals, bringing energy, passion, and serious commitment as we work to bring the 2025 whole-College production of Mamma Mia! to life! This dedicated team has been rehearsing every Sunday and twice a week after school, under the guidance of our amazing creative staff: Music Director Miss Katie Thomas, Assistant Director Miss Amber Hemmes, and Director Mr. Brendan Tollit. Our wonderful stage manager, Molly Andrews-Dodds has also created our poster that you will see attached to this newsletter

It has been incredible to watch the show take shape, and there is a real buzz not just within the cast and crew, but across the entire College community. As one of this year’s Drama Captains and the Producer of the show, I have had the opportunity to speak with families during Talk and Tours, as well as with visitors and friends, and one question keeps coming up: When can we buy tickets? The excitement is definitely building.

We are also looking ahead to a major milestone: Music Camp, coming up in less than a week. This will be a huge time for the production. Not only will the cast be attending, but so will members of Symphonic Band, Big Band, and various other ensembles and rock bands from across the College. While many of these musicians are attending for their ensemble work, a handful will also be joining our show band to bring the Mamma Mia! soundtrack to life. It is going to be an intense few days of singing, playing, blocking, dancing, and bonding, and we cannot wait to see how it all comes together.

Stay tuned. Mamma Mia! is shaping up to be a show you will not want to miss - and trust me, by the final curtain, you’ll be saying Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! More.
