Stockport Grammar School was awash with music and laughter as four performances of ‘Sister Act’ took to the stage. The musical, based on the 1992 film of the same name, follows club singer Deloris Van Cartier as she hides in a convent after witnessing a violent crime. 

What follows is plenty of shenanigans, songs, and, of course, a nun or two! The musical is the first performed at SGS since the production of ‘Chicago’ in 2020 and our pupils and staff put in a lot of hard work to make the show a success. 

Not only did our pupils take to the stage, but they also played vital roles in the band, in lighting and sound, and backstage to help to keep the show running smoothly. In total more than 60 of our pupils took part in the production. 

The standards of performance were fantastic from all pupils involved – with some audience members commenting that the show felt like a professional production!

Director of Music, Mr Michael Dow said: “The production of ‘Sister Act’ was a phenomenal success and I am immensely proud of what all the pupils have achieved.

“The standard of the singing, playing, acting and dancing was incredibly high, reflecting several months of dedication and very hard work in rehearsal.”
