2024 School Production
This year Hastings Girls' High School has chosen to perform the one act play Darklight by Lindsay Price.
Darklight examines depression and anxiety in teens. Characters fight their inner thoughts, search for their truths, and have surreal conversations with death. Some fail, some find hope.
This is a relevant and necessary issue to explore. Whaea Rose (Guidance Counselor) and Catherine Bentley (Principal) are supportive of the decision to stage this play.
If you are interested in being part of this special school event, register your interest and choose an audition time in the link below.
Please contact Mrs Ferguson with any questions regarding the 2024 school production.
Auditions will be held next week: Wednesday 14th, Thursday 15th, Friday 16th February.
Rehearsals will begin Wednesday 21 February.
