The Secondary Section’s In-Class Theatre, Thursday, 5 November, 2026, brought together creativity, storytelling and the performing arts in an engaging showcase of student talent. Through a diverse range of genres and characters, students transported audiences into fascinating theatrical worlds.
From the mystery of The Broken Screen and a thrilling encounter between Dracula and the Gen Z generation to Shakespeare’s timeless The Merchant of Venice, the performances offered a blend of humour, suspense and thought-provoking themes. The Merchant of Venice explored justice, mercy and forgiveness, while The Giver presented a dystopian world that invited audiences to reflect on individuality, freedom and choice.
Adding a touch of nostalgia, Angan Terha brought back the wit and humour of classic television. Disney’s iconic villains took centre stage in a candid interview that looked beyond their sinister reputations. Another delightful performance featured a ghost who simply could not scare anyone, bringing laughter to the audience. The Year 6 performances were equally engaging, reflecting the students’ enthusiasm, confidence and growing stage presence.
Preparation for this initiative began in August 2026. Beyond acting, students explored various aspects of theatre, including directing, stage management, set design, costumes, makeup and musical effects. With the guidance and support of teachers, they collaborated to bring their productions to life, strengthening their confidence, dialogue delivery and expressive skills.
The event was a celebration not only of storytelling and creativity but also of teamwork, commitment and the many skills that come together to make theatre possible.
