Well done to all the students - a high proportion of them from 1st and 2nd Year - who worked so hard both on stage and off to make Oliver! a huge success over two nights (Wednesday, 7th and Thursday 8th December). Also thanks to Mr Downes and his production team for making it all happen.

Stratford was treated to two great performances of Oliver! on Wednesday, 7th December and Thursday, 8th December. Students both on-stage and off, put in a tremendous effort in the weeks prior to the performances and it really showed. Thanks to everyone who worked to make the whole show happen, in particular Mr. Downes. For more photos see the 2016-2017 Gallery. Enjoy highlights of the show on the Stratford College YouTube channel!
