Drama Week 2011

Drama Week 2011 is over! The winners have been announced. The scenery has been cleared out of the auditoriums! The props and costumes have been put away! Cast parties have been held! It's over and now time for a break.

Monday last was the evening for the Standard 7 dramas "The Truth About Geroge" and "Reading, Riting, and Rithmetic." Tuesday was the Standard 9's with "The Diary of Anne Frank" and "Bugsy Malone", Wednesday the Standard 11 groups presented "Murder in the Catherdral" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and last night the Standard 13 combined group presented "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" Many hours were spent in adapting scripts to fit the talent available as well as the limitations of facility!

"The Truth About George" by "Standard 7-a" was the Junior winner and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" was the Senior winner.

We have had plenty of parents here visiting with their children as well as former students. It has been a wonderful week and everyone seems to have had a great time. We have had lunch outside every day and the rain has held off. This has given a wonderful festive tone to the Drama Week festivities.

Mid-term break starts at 12 h 10, in fifteen minutes time. We leave for Delhi tomorrow morning with stops at Jaipur, Agra, Mumbai, Panjim (Goa) before getting back to Ooty on October 24. More after our return.
