After months of dedicated preparation, Ayr State High School brought the spirit of the 1970s to life with their spectacular performance of Disco Inferno at the Burdekin Theatre last month.
Audiences were transported back to the vibrant and groovy 1970s as the school's talented students delivered a dazzling show filled with colour, music, and energy.
Theatre week officially kicked off on Saturday, 17 August, when the set, props, and costumes were moved into the Burdekin Theatre, marking the start of an intense week of rehearsals and excitement.
As opening night drew closer, students and staff alike began to feel the growing anticipation.
Early performances were shared with Ayr State High School students on Thursday and feeder primary schools on the Friday.
By the time the official curtain rose on the evening of Friday 23rd August, the cast was greeted by thunderous applause and cheers, setting the tone for a weekend of unforgettable performances.
The three main shows at the Burdekin Theatre saw audiences grooving along to iconic 70s hits, immersing themselves in a world of glitter, flares, and platform shoes. The combination of a witty script and an electrifying musical score had the crowd laughing, singing, and fully engaged with the lively characters on stage.
As the final curtain fell, it became clear that the production had been a resounding success.
Ms. Courtney Carrigan, Producer of the production, was thrilled with the performances and is already looking forward to next year.
“Congratulations to all cast, crew, and band – you were absolutely amazing, and we are very proud of your efforts!” she said.
“Thank you to all our sponsors along with the Burdekin community for continuing to support our school and The Arts.
“We look forward to the next one in 2026!”
