Students of the past four decades of Parade life, together with the current College captain Matthew Casamento, have banded together as members of cast and production for the much-anticipated Encore21 - Celebrating 21 Years of Parade College Musicals.

The former students, together with those of the sister colleges Catholic Ladies, Mercy, Our Lady’s and Santa Maria, are committed to the one night only event on the night of Saturday, August 25, at the Athenaeum Theatre.

Amongst the Old Paradians committed to encore is Mark Spencer as Production Manager and Tyson Legg as Director. Both Mark and Tyson featured in Parade’s 2000 production of Pippin as can be seen in the accompanying photograph . Mark stands to the right, with Tyson alongside. The other Old Paradian featured is Francis Lawrence, today a professional ballet dancer who most recently performed in the North American tour of An American In Paris.

“We’ve been able to assemble a cast of quality for Encore21,” Executive Producer John Abrahams said.

“What’s wonderful is the time frame, spanning 21 years, during which so much talent was generated . . . it’s incredible to think that we’re bringing back 21 years of talent on one night.”

The Old Paradians’ Association, proudly supported by Northpark Private Hospital, invites you to be part of Encore21 at the Athenaeum Theatre - one month from today – and join the journey through Parade’s extraordinary 21-year musical timeline showcasing some of the finest Parade and sister school performers ever assembled.
