The children of Trinityhouse Randpark Ridge High School certainly pulled out all the stops and delivered acting performances to be proud of.
This year, Trinityhouse entered two plays, Bar and Ger and The Hysterical History of the Trojan War in the Gauteng Regional Amateur Dramatic Series (Grads).
These two plays could not have been more different from each other, one being a drama and the other a comedic piece.
The school’s dean of arts and culture, Andrea Dawson said, “How wonderful it was to witness pupils being prepared to take a risk, challenge themselves and really deliver what each play called on them to deliver to the audience. Both plays were very well-received”.
Waterstone College hosted the third and final leg of the competition, while Trinityhouse hosted the second leg.
Trinityhouse achieved a crop of Merit Awards and Nominations:
- Nomination for best director: Danae Cole

“It goes without saying that the entire cast and crew make every play a success and we acknowledge each individual who formed part of Grads 2018. We cannot wait for the next series,” said Dawson.
