Preparation for Frozen Jr. began in Term 2 with the students’ commitment gradually intensifying as opening night inched ever closer.

The cast initially focused on learning the songs, choreography and blocking, and then eventually put these pieces together with all the other production elements. Double casting the play offered the cast and crew the opportunity to showcase the extent of our talent in Middle School at Geelong Grammar School; however, it also came with a set of unique challenges. It was amazing to watch the students grapple with these challenges and still act with determination and diligence. Frozen Jr. was performed across four nights in The David Darling Play House early in Term 4, with our Middle School performers producing a captivating musical for their friends, family and broader GGS community to revel in.
