Lights, Camera, Action!
DOUGLASDALE – One of the rare times teenagers will be celebrated for being dramatic and theatrical.
King’s College and Preparatory School recently hosted their annual house plays and audience members were amazed by learners’ humorous and thought-provoking performances.
The stage was set for the casts of the houses the Eagles, Falcons and Hawks to show what they were made of. Although everybody gave stellar performances, the Eagles – directed by Annelisa Ndlovu – had the audience in stitches with their comedy titled The Haunting of Chip Lake Lodge. They had the audience enthralled with their psychological drama and were congratulated with many awards, among them Best Play, Best Director and Best Stage Manager.
The Hawks also showcased their many talents of their ensemble cast with their performance of Influencer Nation and won the award for best ensemble cast and for two cameo roles thanks to Chris Freer and Nakai Mgtunge. Jordan-Leigh Lombard walked away with her second Best Actress award while Tebogo Tsoai, a worthy four-time winner, won Best Supporting Actor.
Falcons walked away with Best Actor for Jason Pienaar and Best Supporting Actress being won by Arielle Eloff. The Best Cameo award was scooped by Lance Jackson and Elihle Ndlovu.
The casts are also really grateful to Timothy Kelly for his professional lighting and sound and all drama teachers involved in the plays.
