Emmaus College has proudly celebrated the remarkable success of its 2026 musical production, Disney's Beauty and the Beast—a vibrant showcase of talent, collaboration and community spirit that will long be remembered as a highlight of the College calendar.
Our performances began with a special final dress rehearsal on the Friday, offering a heartfelt invitation to members of the wider Jimboomba community. Guests from local retirement villages, aged care facilities and neighbouring schools were warmly welcomed into the audience, creating an аtmosphere of connection and generosity that reflects the very heart of the Emmaus Way. Their presence added a meaningful dimension to the performance, allowing students to share their gifts with those beyond the immediate College community.
Following this special preview, the College presented three outstanding performances across two days, captivating audiences with the magic and charm of this much-loved musical. Each show was met with enthusiastic applause, as students brought the beloved story to life with energy, creativity and professionalism.
The production was a truly whole-College effort, involving an impressive 110 students from Years 3 to 12. From the cast and choir to dancers and backstage crew, every student played a vital role in delivering a production of exceptional quality. The coordination between performers and technical teams ensured that each element—from costumes and sets to lighting and sound - worked together to create an engaging theatrical experience.
This collaboration highlights the strength of the Emmaus College learning environment, where students are encouraged to explore their passions, develop confidence and work together towards a shared goal. Productions such as Beauty and the Beast demonstrate the College's commitment to nurturing creativity, teamwork and resilience, while providing authentic opportunities for students to grow and shine.
Behind the scenes, the dedication of staff was equally significant. Their guidance, encouragement and countless hours of preparation ensured that students were supported at every stage of the process. The success of the musical is a testament to this strong partnership between students and staff, united in a shared vision of excellence.
Emmaus College extends its sincere thanks to all students, staff and community members who contributed to the production. Their collective efforts have created a memorable and inspiring experience that will be cherished by audiences and participants alike.
