Rockwell College Musical Theatre Ensemble wins at Feis Maitiú, Corcaigh
Rockwell College is delighted to announce that our Musical Theatre Ensemble placed first in Class 335 at Feis Maitiú, Corcaigh on Friday.
This prestigious festival, held annually at The Father Mathew Hall in Cork City, provides a platform for performers of all ages to showcase their talents before experienced professional adjudicators.
This achievement is a testament to the dedication, hard work, and countless hours of practice put in by our students. The ensemble delivered a standout performance from the musical Matilda, bringing the story to life with energy and precision.
While there’s no Miss Trunchbull at Rockwell College (thankfully!), Grace Kennedy somehow managed to channel her inner headmistress with just the right mix of authority and mischief. Michael O’Mahony, Ellen Ryan, and Grace Heaney also delivered stellar performances in their lead roles, captivating the audience from start to finish.
Of course, a performance like this is never just about the leads—the entire ensemble cast played a crucial role, making the production a truly dynamic and engaging experience.
A special thank you to the Rockwell Music Academy team, especially Nicole Butler and Cole Flanagan, whose guidance and expertise helped bring this production to life. Thanks also to Marina, the accompanist, for her invaluable support.
We would also like to express our gratitude to the parents and staff who travelled to support the students and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this possible.
Congratulations to everyone involved—this is a fantastic achievement for Rockwell College!
