25.01.2022 Can you see it????? Nervous anticipation filled the room as we met together for the first time today. So much warmth. So much generosity. So much fun ahead. Welcome to Mary Poppins 2021!!! #firstdayfeels

24.01.2022 Happy first day of School Holidays! We hope our Grade 10's enjoyed their celebrations and our Year 11's received good news in the form of their results yesterday. Check your mail! If you have enrolled for Mary Poppins, you will be receiving a letter in the mail any day soon. It tells you all about how to book yourself an audition appointment and what to prepare for that appointment. Let us know if you have any further questions...

23.01.2022 This is Felicity! She’s our awesome ‘Schools Matinee Booking Liaison’. She’s been working with Dayna on our invitation that will be emailed out to ALL SCHOOLS on the North West TOMORROW. Schools can get in early with their ‘expression of interest’ to be a part of our audiences in June. First in, best dressed! Don’t miss out... Mary is coming!

19.01.2022 A bit of a flashback in honour of what ought to presently be the Tokyo Olympics. In 2012, 30 Mary’s descended from the roof of the Olympic stadium in London’s opening ceremony, floating to the ground with their open umbrellas. Magical!

18.01.2022 2021 will be the 18th DON COLLEGE BIANNUAL PRODUCTION YEAR, following a long tradition which began in 1984! Do you know a current year 10 or 11 student who should audition? Are you an interested member of our College community? Like our page, tag your friends, SHARE this post! Title reveal coming soon!!!!! Woohoo! Here we go....

18.01.2022 She's everywhere! Hopefully Mary's working her invisible magic on our Victorian friends. They could do with a dose...

18.01.2022 We are SOOOO excited. During the past two days, we’ve confirmed our set design, consulted the construction team, had our initial order of materials arrive and Shane has started our first backdrop! Mary is coming.....

17.01.2022 This is CLI Studios in LA. Dayna’s been following them since lockdown. Here’s a Musical Theatre online course, but it’s also got a 7 day free trial. Why not try it ahead of auditions? Might lean something new from the best in the Broadway Biz...

17.01.2022 Look what Santa brought! Scripts and orchestral score arrived today! Now we just need actors, musicians, singers and dancers to bring it to life!

17.01.2022 Today Belinda J King, Danny Gibson and Encore Theatre Company hosted Dayna and Danielle as part of a series of free theatre workshops sharing Encore’s innovative tricks and tips with the public. Today’s topic - wig making and stage makeup. How lucky are we to be a part of a theatre community who share, include and give back!? Thanks, Encore! Now, to get started on a wig to make our ‘Birdlady’ look amazing

17.01.2022 Drum roll, please ............ We are ecstatic to announce our 'Practically Perfect' cast. Congratulations to our Mary Poppins family below. Please share and celebrate. We look forward to bringing you all together next week. Dayna, Darren, Danielle & Alex

15.01.2022 In under 24hrs, we’ve already received over 600 bookings from excited schools! Rianna, Zeehan, Spreyton, Devonport & Andrew’s Creek, thank you. We’ve virtually sold-out our first 3 shows! Brilliant! ‘Winds in the east, mist coming in... like something is brewing and about to begin’. Has your school booked yet?

15.01.2022 Hey, Grade 10's!!! We can't wait to see you tomorrow at DON. If you have already enrolled or wish to enrol in Mary Poppins for 2021, please attend a meeting in the drama room during RECESS. We have audition scripts and info for you, plus we want to snap a group pic that we can look back on next year. Tag and share to ensure the message gets through to everyone.... ta.

13.01.2022 WE ARE EXCITED! Today we got to meet our awesome 2021 Year 11’s auditioning for Mary Poppins. These gorgeous faces join a long list of those that came before them. Have you been a part of one of our 20 biannual productions dating as far back as 1983? We’d love you to name & date it in the comments below!

12.01.2022 Yayyyy! We’ve reached over 200 followers! Your reward is the delivery of our FIRST of FIVE clues as to the title of our 2021 Production. Are you ready????? This show was originally a book, then a film, then a musical, all sharing the same name and is INCREDIBLY well known!!!! We’d go as far as to say that even if you’ve never read or seen these books, films or show... you will have heard of this Share, tag, guess.... go!

12.01.2022 Clue #4 of 5... This sweet treat of a musical will require you to put on your thinking hats. This show takes place where it is cold and miserable, but we are reminded to always believe in the impossible. The magic of theatre will inspire our audience to make the most of every opportunity. What a timely story!!! Tune in to Lee & Jess on Seafm @ 7.45am TOMORROW for your FINAL clue!!!!!

11.01.2022 Day 1 of choreography. Alex takes our talented cast through their first ‘steps’! Loads of smiles, ‘stepping’ out of comfort zones, learning and laughing. Can you see any familiar faces?

11.01.2022 In under 24hrs we’ve gathered over 100 followers. Yay. When we hit 200, we’ll start dropping hints about the title of our 2021 Production! The BIG REVEAL could be only days away, so help out... Tag and encourage others, particularly current Grade 10&11 students, to ‘like’ our page.

11.01.2022 A reminder to all year 11's heading into year 12... there will be a MARY POPPINS expression of interest and information session in the Drama Room at RECESS time tomorrow (Friday 18th). See you there.

10.01.2022 Whether you are Team Bert or Team Mary, we hope you found yourself ‘swept’ off your feet #vdaymarysway

09.01.2022 Clue #3 #windsofchange Head up! Have you worked it out yet? Tune in Wednesday @ 3pm for the BIG REVEAL

08.01.2022 Who can guess which musical number this backdrop will feature in? Have we mentioned how lucky we are that we have a ‘Shane Wolfe’? Thanks Shane! (& Eisten who helped out yesterday) #talent #teameffort

08.01.2022 The day has arrived!!! Thanks Lee and Jess Sea Fm for having us on air this morning to drop the final clue. Listen here if you missed it, and see you back at 3pm for the BIG REVEAL!!!!!!!! https://devonport.seafmtas.com.au//7643247-don-college-pro

08.01.2022 Clue Number 2!!!!!!! Our choreographer, Alex Abblitt, is already busy creating some fun dance numbers, so the world is at your feet. Singers, dancers, actors... this show is full of perfect roles for practically everyone and appeals to an audience age of 3-103. Dayna describes it as a 'warm-pot-of-chicken-soup' kind of show. It's like a big hug.

07.01.2022 15 minutes to go.......

07.01.2022 Looking forward to meeting our grade 10’s tomorrow night. Come and say hi to us near the Mary Poppins display in the library

05.01.2022 Wishing a Happy 21st Birthday to our amazing mover and shaker, our talented Choreographer, Alex! Have a ‘super’ day
