Shakespeare Carnival
St Paul's Drama department was fortunate to again host the Shakespeare Carnival this year during the first week of Term 2. This is a state wide competition organised by the Sport for Jove Theatre, showcasing students across NSW as they tread the boards and creatively engage with Shakespeare's works on the stage as actors, dancers, musicians and designers.
Students in Year 9 and 11 performed scenes from Shakespeare's “A Midsummer Night's Dream” and “Romeo and Juliet”. Each performance was well rehearsed and impressive to watch. The audience were certainly taken on a journey with laughter and joy followed by tears. After a difficult deliberation by our host judge, Ms Jennifer Igerl, the winners emerged. Congratulations to Phoebe Laws and Logan Hill for winning the Duologue section and to Sasha Shipp, Ellia Baywood and Amelia Perry for winning the ensemble section. These students will compete at Regional level in May, hopefully then progressing on to State titles.
Congratulations to all of our Drama students for their impressive performances. This was a very successful competition and the students are commended for their dedication and commitment to their performances.
