Drama at St. Lawrence College

At St. Lawrence College we recognise the power of drama as an educational tool for children of all ages.

Drama provokes imagination, exercises powers of expression and supports the emotional maturity of a child. Self-control, interpretation and teamwork are also among the many skills enhanced by the process of a successful drama production. Above all, drama at St. Lawrence College offers tremendous fun for pupils, creating an outlet for energy and both physical and cerebral creativity along the way.

The highly popular drama club in the Senior School works towards an annual production while taking time to explore theatrical and dramatic technique and practice throughout the year. A considerable number of pupils are encouraged to learn more about themselves through performance while others derive their sense of accomplishment by working backstage on props, lighting, sound and set design.

Recent productions, including Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” and Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot”, both performed in our purpose-built Cultural Hall, earned rave reviews. Most importantly, though, hundreds of pupils have matured thanks to those experiences and will never forget being a part of such memorable performances.
