Showcase
Dramatic Readings O
n Thursday, November 19th the Secondary English Department hosted the 2020/21 Middle School Dramatic Readings event in the Grand Theatre. This year’s event was the largest yet, but fifteen separate performances comprised of 27 students from grade 6, 7 and 8. On top of the record level of participation, the genres of the performances themselves also varied, ranging from selfwritten poetry, to nonfiction accounts, from popular modern fiction to classic dystopian novels. This year also saw the performance of The Gettysburg Address, a famous American political speech. The performers all did a fantastic job at performing their material, and all were in the running to win the three categories: Context & Setting, Vocal Performance, and Audience Engagement. Students voted for their favourite performers, and the winners of the individual categories, as well as the overall winner can be seen below. Mr. Ben
