On Friday the 6^th of September 2024 Parklands High Production Team put on our first show together,  You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, the musical, based on the beloved Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz.

Since the beginning of the year both our dedicated students and teachers have worked day and night to prepare for the upcoming shows by spending hours revising scripts, making props, organising advertisements, practising and creating dances, and so much more tiring work.

The shows, though they had their hiccups, were fantastic thanks to the teachers – without whom none of this would’ve ever been possible –the hardworking actors who brought the iconic characters to life with charm, wit and enthusiasm and the backstage workers who ensured that each scene looked lively.

Throughout the duration of the Production the people who participated, though from all different parts of life, blended together becoming a big family. From dance parties and backstage dancing, to laying on the floor together after tiring shows, the environment created by all these wonderful humans was one like no other.

Specials mentions to our teachers;

Miss Cordwell our lovely producer who started the whole process and kept it going even through rough patches.
