Fenceline Theatre Company is Swan Christian College's school-based theatre that operates under the premise of creating ‘space for students to create’.
The theatre company under the leadership of Jane Hille provides students and alumni with the opportunity to gain professional theatre experience.
What a great pleasure it was to work with so many talented students and staff. Major school productions require an army of people to bring them to fruition and Godspell has been no exception. This colourful musical production was defined by many things, not least of which is the magnificent sculpture designed and meticulously constructed by Mr Clive Smith. Reinterpreting Godspell for a contemporary audience set in the Swan Valley required a metonymic design that would symbolically represent who and where we are. Culturally and contextually relevant to our students and the wider community.
The show represented us, in a way, as Christians. It is the story of Jesus according to the Gospel of Matthew, the messages Jesus came to share with us all, albeit 2000 years ago. The audience got to see young people using their God-given gifts and talents to share what is essentially our core belief.
2017 - ANYMAN (Fringe World Theatre Award Winner)
ANYMAN (produced by Fenceline Theatre in conjunction with Shalom House) dealt with the story of addiction from the perspective of men in rehabilitation – a topic that affects many in our community. It was announced the joint winner of the Fringe World Theatre Award and was very well received by the College community as well as the wider community.
2017 - The Final Dress Rehearsal
“The Final Dress Rehearsal” was a funny little production about an amateur theatre group putting on a play and all is in uproar.
2016 - Antigone
A classic Greek tragedy written by Sophocles in 441BC. The 2016 Year 12 drama class re-interpreted the text into a dystopian, post-apocalyptic time and place.
