On Thursday, May 29 and Friday, May 30, the stage school showcased the talents of students from the age of three to 18 with an array of themes throughout the performances.
Class One had a piece prepared around superheroes, where they sang, danced and recited a poem, all the while looking very cute.
The Boys Only class, which is always an audience favourite, performed a scene from the classic family film, Little Rascals, and they also danced to Pump up the Jam and Runaway.
Class Three were beautifully styled, donning the latest princess fashion. They sang beautifully to I'm a Believer and With a Little Help from my Friends, as well as reciting a lovely poem. Their choreography was arranged to Under the Sun and Filthy Rich.
Class Four and Class Five performed scenes from the musical, Annie singing Hard Knock Life, Never Fully Dressed and Tomorrow. In their respective classes, Class Four danced to I Found You and That's so True; and Class Five to Espresso and We Can't be Friends.
The audience continued to be wowed as the Seniors didn't miss a beat in their pieces to Razzle Dazzle, Disturbia, Dancing through Life, and Abracadabra. Meanwhile, senior student, Leah St Ledger choreographed a dance to I can do it with a Broken Heart. Soloists on the night were Clara Brennan, Claudia Kenny, Aoibhe Murphy, Aoife McGlanaghey, Cora McGrath, Freya Ronan, Sarah Mackey and Ellie Rose Flynn.
The finale brought the audience to great applause, with some singing along, to an ABBA megamix.
Commenting on the performances, Ms Cooney said she would like to thank those who contributed to the nights' success, particularly those back stage and front-of-house, and Carmel Rowe and Niamh Cullen for drama and singing, Musical Director, Philip Kennedy, and Tomás Kavanagh for sound and lights.
The school is closed for the summer months and will reopen in September. For more information on classes with Anne-Marie Cooney Stage School, contact Anne-Marie on 086 8179098.
