Hello, my name is Evie, and I am a proud student at Albert Park College and the 2026 Performing Arts Captain. Our school's drama production for 2026 is "2100", a piece that promises to keep you on the edge of your seats. However, as things stand, there is no scheduled performance on a Friday. This is concerning because it restricts the accessibility for students, families, and the broader community who wish to attend but are limited by weekday commitments.

Over the years, our school plays have served as a significant cultural event within Albert Park. They are a gathering point for families, extended relatives, and community members; a time when we all come together to appreciate the hard work of students and teachers. From past productions, we’ve seen that Friday shows allow more people to attend, as it marks the start of the weekend when people are more relaxed and available.

Having a Friday showing would also be beneficial for our school’s talented drama team. It allows them to perform before a full house, which is immensely gratifying and encouraging. Fridays tend to draw larger audiences, giving performers the exposure and feedback they deserve.

Moreover, an additional show would accommodate out-of-town families who travel specifically to support their children. It can be incredibly disappointing for a family to miss out on witnessing their child's performance due to scheduling constraints. With the addition of a Friday performance, we ensure inclusivity and bolster community spirit.

In light of these reasons, we kindly urge the administration of Albert Park College to schedule an additional showing of “2100” on a Friday. This simple, yet meaningful change would greatly enhance the experience for both the performers and the audience.

Please sign this petition to show your support for a Friday showing of "2100" and help ensure a fantastic and inclusive event for everyone.
