Drama and Theatre
Activities Fair
Our Yr 12 Captains launched our Senior Drama and Theatre program last week with our Activities Fair. Redlands offers a variety of courses in Acting, Theatre Sports, Shakespeare, Musical Theatre, Film and Production for students from Kindergarten to Yr 12. There are limited vacancies available in some classes. Any student interested in joining any of our classes can collect an enrolment form from any reception, Redlands Pulse or via email.
Musical
Our Musical rehearsals are well underway. Students can check rehearsal schedules and newsletters on iLearn, on the Theatre and Drama notice board and Redlands Pulse. Students are reminded to be prompt to all rehearsals, bring plenty of food and water, wear appropriate clothing as required and the very important libretto!

Winning schools will progress to take part in the qualifying finals in June and the top teams in each division will go into a Grand Final at the Enmore Theatre at the end of June.
Shakespeare on Screen
Sport for Jove Theatre is returning with The Shakespeare Carnival for 2021. Right across NSW, high school students will have the chance to tread the boards and creatively engage with Shakespeare’s works on the stage as actors, dancers, musicians and designers. This year the Redlands Shakespeare Festival is focussing on film acting techniques. You can submit a film of your performance and be judged by the esteemed Darren Gilshenan (The Moodys, Here come the Habibs!, Harrow). Register your interest in the Shakespeare Festival here by Friday 19 February and then you will be invited to join the dedicated iLearn page.
Senior Acting Ensemble
Interested in becoming part of the Redlands Drama Senior Acting Ensemble? Students who would like to develop their acting skills and be part of an ensemble that creates new works, as well as working towards Theatre festivals, are invited to come on Monday lunchtime to the Drama Studio. See Mrs Daley for details.
