2 Mar
Summary
- Over 300 students from diverse faiths performed a 30-year-old musical.
- The production, 'Born for This,' retells the final days of Jesus.
- The event marked a legacy handover and was called a 'dream' by the writer.
Over 300 schoolchildren from six different Birmingham schools, representing diverse faiths, recently united to perform "Born For This." This musical production, which retells the final days of Jesus, was originally created 30 years ago. The performance at Symphony Hall marked the anniversary of the well-known musical.
The writer described the opportunity for these young people to perform a semi-professional production for the first time as a "dream" and a significant "handing-on of a legacy." Rehearsals involved children from various schools across the city meeting at St Thomas Aquinas Catholic School, fostering an environment of mutual support and learning.
Some students have a personal connection to the musical, with family members having performed in it previously. Legacy cast members also returned for this anniversary production, expressing thrilled to be part of it again. The event was scheduled for Wednesday, March 25th, at 7:00 PM at Symphony Hall.
