2022 Drama Production, The Burial at Thebes

It has been a wonderful experience to watch this talented group of students take on the challenge of running a production alongside their education, sporting and work commitments to develop their skills as creatives and step into their own.

Congratulations to our Antigone cast and crew who worked long and hard to ensure that the performance drew our audience to the team’s dystopian interpretation of this traditional Greek play. Our talented students, along with students from Marist Radford, Burgmann and Erindale Colleges, continue to demonstrate the very high standards we have come to expect of Merici College.

It has been a wonderful experience to watch this talented group of students take on the challenge of running a production alongside their education, sporting and work commitments to develop their skills as creatives and step into their own. It is safe to say that the future of the arts is in safe hands with these young people.

My special thanks to all members of the wider production team for their dedication to ensuring this production becomes a proud tradition for the Merici community.
