Tech, Talent, and Alumnae Connections at BATS Theatre
Wednesday, 22 October 2025

On Friday night, Marsden's performing arts leaders attended the show What the World Needs Now at BATS Theatre, a production created by Freaky Friday director Alex McKellar.

Ari (Y13) and Kate (Y12) were part of the team working the tech desk for the show, having been offered a paid internship. Both students have spoken about how much they have enjoyed learning from professionals and gaining hands-on experience in the theatre industry.

The evening was also a special occasion as they saw Old Girl Lizzie Summers performing in the cast, highlighting the ongoing connection between Marsden alumni and the performing arts community.

The experience provided an inspiring insight into the world of theatre production, reinforcing Marsden's commitment to supporting students' creative growth and industry engagement.
