18 - 22 October
The class of Year 7C have been training hard for the annual Beep Test. Hearts will be broken and friendships destroyed in the ultimate quest for glory!
The Beep Test is a fast paced, comedic, over the top new Australian musical by upcoming musical theatre writers ‘Neylon & Peele.’ Inspired by the drama and chaos that was school Beep Tests, the work combines all the pain and glory of being in Year 7 with some knock your socks off singing and tight choreography!
In 2019, the work was the winner of the prestigious Julie Michael Cabaret Award. In 2020, it was a finalist for the Martin Sims Award, which recognises ‘the best new Western Australian Work that is destined to succeed on the world’s stage.’
