The students in action
The University of Chichester Conservatoire Triple Threat programme was poised to open its annual autumn double bill at the Alexandra Theatre in Bognor Regis last October.
This year it was Rodgers and Hart’s Pal Joey and Babes in Arms which quickly sold out the socially-distanced auditorium.
Then the circuit-breaker lockdown was announced.
However, the students decided that ‘the show must go on’.
With regulations allowing education to continue, they decided to turn one of their little campus theatres into a film studio, modified and installed the sets and filmed it so that they could at least see for themselves what they had achieved and take away some high-quality showreel film to support their industry progression.
