Joint Theatre Festival

This year's theatre festival was a huge success, featuring a diverse range of performances from Shakespeare classics to original pieces written and directed by pupils in Years 7 to 12 over two evenings. The festival was produced by Miss Talbot, with support from Mr. Kyle, who handled set construction, lighting, and sound. Miss Putt and Miss Lord were responsible for managing front of house and backstage activities. During the interval, attendees were treated to a set design exhibit, and refreshments were provided by the Parents’ Association.

Performing for an audience in a studio configuration presented a unique challenge for the pupils involved, many of whom were performing in this setting for the first time; however, through supporting each other's original work, they were able to overcome any initial nerves and create a truly memorable experience for both themselves and their audience. The camaraderie displayed during the festival was truly inspiring, and highlighted the resilience and creativity of our young performers. Through their hard work and dedication to their craft, these pupils proved that anything is possible when you have a supportive community behind you.
