School Musicals

Loreto Community School has a strong tradition of bringing many wonderful Musicals to the stage. Down through the years its been a talking point of the county of how fantastic these musicals have been. The tradition of musicals goes as far back as the 1980’s and 1990’s.

In 1981 Loreto held a musical called “Jesus Christ Superstar” in Milford. ‘Annie’, ‘The Sound of Music’, ‘Greece’ were amazing musicals that followed. Loreto always had  large numbers travelling from all over to see their musicals in the ‘convent hall’ as it was previously known as. In more recent years the demand was so high for tickets that they had to move the production to An Grainian theater in Letterkenny to facilitate the large numbers. After the opening of the new school , a new ‘halla ceoil” more commonly known by Loreto students was built which meant the school musicals were able to return home to the school. The most current Musicals were ‘West Side Story’, ‘All Shook Up’, ‘Back to the 80s’ and ‘Thank you for the music’ which just took to the stage a month ago and once again got the whole county talking about the talented bunch of pupils which received exceptional reviews.
