The curtain officially opens on Castlemaine Secondary College’s highly anticipated 2026 school production ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ tonight.
Local primary school students were treated to a sneak peek earlier today before the official launch.
The latest production follows on from the school’s sell-out 2025 performances of Mamma Mia.
The production is taking place at the Phee Broadway Theatre in Castlemaine with three more shows scheduled this weekend, and promises a thrilling journey for community members of all ages.
The production is being directed teachers Jo Tsakoumagos and Kat Vearing, and Year 11 student Neon Robertson.
The massive cast features students from Year 7 through to Year 12 supported by a student led backstage and production crew.
CSC teacher and producer of the 2026 show Jacqui Teague said students are involved in every aspect of the show from performance, choreography and dance to costumes, set construction and design, props, lighting and sound.
“A Wrinkle in Time is a faithful, ensemble-driven adaptation by Morgan Gould, of the beloved 1962 science-fantasy novel by Madeleine L’Engle, that masterfully retells the story in a fresh and enduring way,” Jacqui said.
The plot follows one of literature’s most enduring young heroines, Meg Murry, who is on a mission to save her father. Meg joins forces with Mrs Whatsit, Charles Wallace, Calvin O’Keefe and more to battle the forces of evil so she can rescue her father, save humanity and find herself.
In the end, we know two things for sure: 1. Love CAN overcome evil and 2. There IS such a thing as a tesseract!
Performances will take place tonight August 7 at 7pm, and Saturday August 8 at 12.30pm and 7pm.
