IGS Senior High School Theatresports Team, made up of Year 11 students Anna, Kai, Orla and Margot, performed recently at Ashfield Boys High School. They impressed audiences throughout the night and really shone in the final round, a Shakespeare-themed scene titled The Waiters’ Woe. In this challenge, the team improvised a hilarious scenario involving waiters attempting to prepare a dish that would please a monarch. Their clever performance earned a fantastic score of 5/5/4, securing them a place in the semi-finals of the Theatresports Schools Challenge.
Our intermediate team, featuring Claudine, Genevieve and Matilda, also delivered a strong and memorable performance. Their standout scene, Time War, followed a kindergarten teacher on her first day as she navigated a classroom full of mischievous children. Although this team was narrowly eliminated, we remain hopeful for a wild-card entry into the next round.
Special thanks to our 2024 Drama Leader and Head Girl, Antigone Marchbank, and former Drama student Madeline Stedman for their outstanding coaching and support.
The senior team will return to Ashfield Boys High School for the semi-finals at 7pm on Monday 3 June. If they succeed, they will perform at the iconic Enmore Theatre.
We encourage the IGS Community to come along and support our talented performers. Best of luck to the team!
