HSC Practical Drama Exam

31 August

The Redlands Yr 12 HSC Drama examination will be held on Friday 31 August. We wish all our candidates well as they make final preparations for this important event. 

Drama Competition

Thursday 16 August at 6.30pm in the Drama Studio

Students will be competing in the categories of comedy and drama with contemporary performance pieces. All are welcome to join us. Our adjudicator will be Redlander and recent ACA graduate Sean Lyall.

Senior Acting

11 September at 6.30pm

Come along and support the Senior Acting students as they perform Lockdown by Douglas Craven on Tuesday 11 September in T16. Set in a dark classroom, a group of students sit in an “official lockdown,” not knowing if it’s just a drill or an actual emergency. When a hysterical Yr 9 student bolts from the room and the teacher follows, the remaining students are left alone to decide if it’s safer to stay or run.

Yr 11 Production – Curious

17-18 September at 6.30pm in the Drama Studio

Yr 11 IB and HSC students will present a series of original works featuring physical theatre scenes based on the techniques of Frantic Assembly. All are welcome to attend these creative and engaging performances.

Redlander News

Congratulations to Redlanders Hannah and Eliza Reilly (Class of 2009), who have recently been chosen to be part of the 2018 contingent of Talent USA. They will travel to Los Angeles for high level meetings and workshops as part of Screen Australia’s third Talent USA contingent in September 2018 in partnership with the Australian Writers’ Guild. Since leaving Redlands, the sisters started their careers in radio and have gone on to become factual, comedy and musical creators. Their debut series Growing Up Gracefully aired on the ABC in 2017 with a tongue-in-cheek look at life as an Australian woman. The sisters then became the first online comedy creators funded by Screen Australia’s Gender Matters initiative to go into production, with their four part comedy series Sheilas launching on 21 August 2018.
