Director

 

In 2012 Majella was invited by Guildford Borough Council to direct and co-produce ‘Jubilation’ a celebration of both The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the 15th birthday of The Electric Theatre. The production combined the talents of local adult professional and amateur performers, students from Guildford School of Acting and children from The Man in the Moon Youth Theatre.

 

"Jubilation! […] featured a cast of 60 local performers who took us on a fantastic nostalgic musical and theatrical journey through the past 60 years."

(The Guildford Dragon News)

 

In 2016 Majella co-produced a GATA Festival Week of entertainment at The Electric Theatre culminating in a gala evening of song, dance and drama featuring over 50 performers.

​

Majella has directed shows with young people and adults (sometimes combining the two) in productions that have included: Oliver, Aladdin, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Babes in the Wood, The King and I, Cinderella, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleeping Beauty, Grease, Bugsy Malone, Double Cut and Kindly Leave the Stage.
