BTEC Performing Arts students performed their final graduation show Calamity Jane to a packed audience. The show was a great success and the cast received huge applause from the crowd.

The musical told the story of Deadwood City’s two most famous peace Officers, Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickock, who get involved in saving the neck of Henry Miller, the local Saloon Owner. It seems that he has been promoting a beautiful actress named Frances Fryer, but Frances turns out to be a boy, Francis. Only Calamity can cool the crowd with her trusty pistols!

Amy Pryce, 18, from Benfleet who played lead character Calamity Jane in the show said: “The show went really well and the audience really made it. We all worked so hard rehearsing for the show and we are glad people enjoyed it.”

The cast and crew would like to thank everyone involved in the show that supported them in producing a fantastic performance, giving the students a well-deserved successful end to their time at the College. The students said: “The shows we have performed over the past two years are a result of the teamwork within our class. The teaching staff have encouraged us and given us the freedom and independence we needed in order to put on shows we can be proud of.”
