The Middle School students of Section A are about to experience something they have never experienced before! They are going to perform a play, based on a story they’ve built on their own. This is a part of their yearly project, but to them, it’s more than that. It’s real!
The drama teachers are very keen on making this happen. Mr.Sanjeev Singh, also called as Jivi anna, shared “This is a one time opportunity for the kids!”
Although the students are acting really well, one obstacle prevents them from achieving their goal. “These kids are still struggling to memorize their lines!” said Swami Ekapada, head of the Drama department.
The crew and the cast have been working very hard towards their goal. Jivi anna said, “I’m really starting to believe their acting, but only at certain moments in the play. I’m starting to believe there’s a chance to put on this play. To be honest, before the last class we had, on the 16th of March, I didn’t think that there was a chance of making this play a big hit!”
The crew is getting ready to do the ‘Italian Run’ set piece arrangement process.
After the performance Sivanesh the assistant director and stage manager of the play shared “It was a wonderful experience working with Jivi anna and Swami Ekapada. I enjoyed being the assistant director of this wonderful play.”Another student, the actress Shreya.M, shared “I loved acting in this play, as the class had built the story, compiling all of our wonderful ideas, as well as taking out unnecessary ones. This play was a totally new experience for us!”
