Beyond the curtain: The story behind ASPIRE

The Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle has released a 27-minute documentary titled Unscrambled: Behind the Curtains of the 2026 ASPIRE Production. The film premiered at Tower Cinemas in Newcastle for students, families, and staff to mark 15 years of the diocese's creative and performing arts program.

The documentary follows students as they rehearsed, composed music, and created costumes for the 2026 production, Scrambled. Filming for the project began in October 2025. Josh Wolfson, a student from Trinity Catholic College in Adamstown, noted that seeing the rehearsal footage and interviews on a cinema screen provided a rewarding new perspective on the production process.
