About

The show that enthralls audiences year after year - the Schools Spectacular - epitomises all these qualities. It's an exhilarating exhibition of excellence and exceptional talent nurtured in New South Wales Public Schools.

Quite simply, there is no show to equal it anywhere in the world, in terms of sheer size, scale and scope. An inspirational showcase for the talents of 3,000 performers from schools across the state, the Schools Spectacular - known to it's participants simply as 'Spec' - will open for the 24th year at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Friday 23 November.

To express the pride and affection that performers and production staff alike have in this enduring production, this year's show is called 'MySpec'. The theme will express the special spirit of the Spectacular - the energy, enthusiasm and excitement of everyone involved from dancers on the arena to the 'tunnel rats' behind the scenes who get hundreds of students on and off stage with precision timing.

Performers aged from five to nineteen will present a dazzling display of colour, movement and music taking audiences on a journey into the many facets of Australian life and illustrating what it means to be a part of such a unique celebration.

A much-anticipated annual feature on Sydney's entertainment calendar the Schools Spectacular has been the launch pad for a host of popular entertainers and introduces the stars of the future to annual audiences of more than 30,000.

A brilliantly choreographed and costumed production on an epic scale, the show presents a massive task of planning and co-ordination. From tiny schools in remote areas of the State to inner-city Sydney, young singers, dancers and musicians spend months preparing for the moment when they will join together to thrill audiences at the end of November. Teachers, parents and communities throw their support behind their efforts and rejoice in their achievements.

Spectacular Director, Mary Lopez can claim credit for directing all 24 productions. She and the team from the NSW Department of Education Arts Unit, headed by Spectacular Producer Dianne Duff, have scoured the State to unearth an array of talent equal to none.
Of this year's show Mary Lopez says: 'MySpec will give audiences an insight into the passions that drive Spec. There is an abundance of talent as always, but the energy will be greater than ever seen in 24 years of School Spectaculars.'

In paying tribute to the dedication of those involved, Dianne Duff says 'MySpec is about the journey each of us takes when we become involved in this amazing production. Whether you are a performer, a teacher, a stage manager, or lucky enough, like me, to be the producer, the journey changes lives forever. For our young performers, the journey is only just beginning.'
