Stage Challenge
On the 7th June, Hamilton Boys’ High School Year 10 drama class travelled to Founders Theatre to compete in the Waikato Stage Challenge Competition. The drama group had been rehearsing since the start of Term 2.
After some difficulties along the way, the boys finally arrived and saw the other schools rehearsing. We were quickly certain that we did not stand a chance. However, after three run-throughs on stage, we felt pumped and ready to compete later that evening. Being drawn to perform fourth, the group’s story of a rejected boy in school who finds acceptance and rejection amongst his peers would be a refreshing change to the other acts that night.
After an all-out performance Boys’ High came away with three awards; Excellence in Concept, Costuming Character, Drama, and a trophy for participation, with the Hamilton News calling it “a deep and imposing performance.”
We would like to express a big thank you to Mr Leach and Ms Varma for their support on the day.
