Gold Coast Secondary Schools' Drama Festival

Senior Division

The Festival was held from the 16th to 18th August 2007 with TSS hosting the three day exhibition.

Under the direction of Head of Drama, Ms. Di Francis, 10 boys from Year 12 underwent two and a half months of intense rehearsals of the play ‘Of Mice & Men’.The John Steinbeck classicis the tragic story of George and Lennie, two migrant ranch workers in California during the Great Depression. The play focuses on their dreams and loneliness and, in particular, their embodiment of the American Dream of owning their own land.

Intermediate Division

Under the direction of Ms Miller, a cast of 11 boys, and two students from St Hilda's endured an intense three month production process rehearsing a play titled ‘Skate’.

‘Skate’ is about a group of young kids battling with their local council to get a skate park. When tragedy strikes, the battle grows into a struggle of acceptance and unity. A turbo-charged and moving account of the mates, mothers, tricks and traumas of young teenagers, ‘Skate’ is the emotional awkwardness of adolescence, packed with adrenalin, compassion and humour.

Year 8 Play

The boys put on a sensational and moving performance of George Orwell’s Animal Farm, after two months of rehearsals.
