Margaret and Judy’s work with Spotlight Stage School has left a lasting mark on the local arts community by fostering creativity, confidence, and a love of the performing arts in countless students for almost four decades.
As the Lime Tree curtains go up on ‘Back to the Future’ it will shine a spotlight on local talent and the next chapter in the Spotlight Stage School story as past-pupil, Sadhbh McCoy is set to take over the reins.
“I am proud and excited to continue the incredible legacy left by Margaret and Judy at Spotlight,” said Sadhbh McCoy.
“Spotlight has always been a place where young people can build confidence and discover their passion for the arts, just as it has done for me. I look forward to leading this wonderful school into a new chapter and continuing its success for many years to come.”
As Margaret and Judy prepare for their well-deserved retirement, they express deep gratitude to the many parents, students, and staff members who have supported Spotlight throughout the years.
“It has been an absolute joy to watch generations of young people grow in confidence, creativity, and talent. We are confident that under Sadhbh’s leadership, Spotlight will continue to thrive.”
Spotlight’s end-of-year show, Back to the Future, will take place on 17th and 18th May at the Lime Tree Theatre. This performance will not only celebrate the incredible talent of the students but also serve as a tribute to the legacy of Margaret and Judy. Enrolments for the September term will commence at the end of the summer, when the school will be celebrating the important milestone of 40 years of Spotlight Stage School.
