Following the devastating fire that destroyed the drama studio at Strode College on November 1, the college is calling on the community to ensure that the show goes on.

Noone was hurt in the fire, but it destroyed everything in its wake including a set, props, costumes, electrical equipment, music equipment, and weeks of hard work making and building things for their production of 'Grease' which will be performed at Strode Theatre in February.
