Gort pupils just wanna have fun

AFTER the success of last year’s All Shook Up, pupils at Gort Community School have a challenge to equal that standard again but this year’s show, Back to the Eighties, is set to be a winner.
Featuring lots of popular hits from the time, including Girls just Wanna Have Fun, Video Killed the Radio Star and Kids in America, along with plenty of comedy and a great cast, set and pupil band, it is set to be a great start to the new year.
Last year’s show was a sell-out and tickets for this year’s offering, available from the school office and Gort Community Centre during office hours, are being snapped up.
Teacher Caroline Meagher is appealing to people to show their appreciation for the efforts of the pupils, who have spent long hours rehearsing so that everything will be on cue on the night.
“It is a great opportunity to see the great talent that is nurtured in our school. It’s totally awesome,” she said.
The show will be staged from Thursday, January 19 to Saturday, January 21 at 8pm sharp in the community centre, beside the school.
