Creative Generation State Schools Onstage 2022 will feature more than 1700 state school
students from across Queensland performing over one massive weekend in July.
Students were nominated in October last year and took part in auditions in February and March. Rehearsals started in April and will run through to July.
The performance is finalised with three days of rehearsals at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC), when the regional casts join after months of learning remotely. Four performances will be staged at the BCEC from July 14-16.

This year’s theme is All of Us and celebrates students’ individual voices and the power of
unifying their voices to speak up for the things they believe in.
There are seven sub-themes that the program will explore – Reflect, Heal, Reignite, Inspire, Discover, Voice and Vision.
This year’s show features singing, dancing, drama, orchestral performances, solo instrumentalists, aerial performers, drummers, a massed string orchestra and a jazz band, with students from Cairns through to the Gold Coast involved.
