Reunion
The 1993 Davitt College Production
A Decade On Stage
Celebrating 10 years of theatrical excellence (1983–1993), bringing together the best musical moments from a decade of Davitt College productions.
🎭 A Nostalgic Retrospective
Reunion (1993) took a nostalgic look back at the various musicals staged in Davitt College since its opening in 1982. By curating the finest musical numbers from past hits—including Jesus Christ Superstar, West Side Story, War Clouds, and Grease—this production created a unique bridge between past pupils, current students, and the local community.
■ A Community Effort
Producer and Director Michael Brett led this massive undertaking, functioning primarily as a Transition Year project. Students were involved in every detail, from set design and props to publicity. The production was made possible by the volunteering of many past pupils who returned to lend their talents, reinforcing the strong bonds that define the Davitt College musical tradition.
