2018 Performances
XtrAct Performance Group Major Performance
|
Twisted by his advancing years and a greed for money, this Christmas Eve Ebeneezer Scrooge will be given a second chance to get his priorities straight when he is visited by three spirits – Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future. Using a mix of drama, dance, singing, choral work and puppetry, this adaption by Neil Bartlett uses the words of Dickens himself to bring this inspirational Christmas tale to life. The XtrAct Performance Group brings to life a production that will speak to young and old alike. It’s a family event to kick of the festive season.

Last year we attended local nursing homes. This year we will be entertaining children at some local after hours care facilities and our San Remo class will be providing the entertainment at the San Remo Neighbourhood Centre Christmas Party.

2013
XtrActors participate in two major performances a year.
JuMP Night
The first is fondly known as JuMP Night (Junior Mini Performances). JuMP Night kicks of the Wyong TheatreFest and generally occurs in late June each year. On JuMP Night students are treated to feedback from the festival adjudicator and get a taste of the festival atmosphere.
Read Karen Ractliffe's review of this years JuMP Night and TheatreFest here.
Christmas Concert
During early December each year we have our end of year performance day. Performances tend to swim around the theme of Christmas and pantomime at this concert and the onus is on celebrating a year of skill building. All of which culminates in a visit from Old Saint Nic. Check out information for 2013 Concert here.
