DRAMA & THEATRE
DRAMA AND THEATRE
From a very early age, Priory students have many opportunities to perform in front of audiences, through class plays and musical and theatrical productions presented for the entire Priory community.
THE TALE OF MULAN
Under the inspiring and dedicated direction of Priory faculty members Mrs. Bouchard and Mme Martineau, the Drama Club performed two performances, one during the day for their fellow students and one in the evening for our 159 ticket holders. The production had all the hallmarks of a Broadway show – curtains, backdrops, strobe lights, props, and a musical score– along with a brilliant Mulan cast and crew of over 40 amazingly talented students! Bravo, Priory, for another masterpiece!
THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER
Our talented cast of 37 actors, supported by a dedicated crew of Priory parents, stagehands, and lighting technicians, have gone above and beyond to bring this story to life. They have invested countless hours building intricate props, painting vibrant sets, fitting elaborate costumes, and perfecting their choreography to ensure an enchanting performance for our Priory community.
PETER PAN TAKES FLIGHT AT THE PRIORY
After six months of rehearsals, under the direction of Priory teachers, Mrs. Caroline Bouchard, Mme Hélène Martineau and Mrs. Linden Parker, The Priory Drama Club’s cast of more than 40 students staged a truly magical experience for a packed audience, in the production of Peter Pan. The performance featured impressive costumes, superb sets, special effects (including flying scenes!), a dash of fairydust, and the very talented acting and singing of Priory students. This spectacular journey of wonder into the magical world of Neverland was a brilliant testament of what our children can achieve and accomplish. Congratulations to our wonderfully talented cast and crew for producing another Priory masterpiece!
THE WIZARD OF OZ
The students brought the World of Oz to life with elaborate costumes and detailed props and set designs. Under the inspiring and dedicated direction of three Priory faculty members, Mrs. Bouchard, Mrs. Parker and Ms. Sherriffs, the Drama Club performed two performances, one during the day for their fellow students and one in the evening for parents, grandparents and relatives. A special feature of the performance were the songs adapted by our very own students. When asked about their experience, all students in the Drama Club had positive things to say and were happy to have had this wonderful opportunity..
CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY DAZZLED THE AUDIENCE!
The Priory School Drama Club brought Roald Dahls’ delicious tale of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to life on Thursday, April 21st, with fantastical performances, stunning stagecraft and sweet visuals that dazzled the audience. Under the ambitious direction of our faculty, twenty two cast members and six stagehands delivered theatrical goodies includingViolet metamorphosing into a blueberry before our very eyes, Veruka encountering an army of digital squirrels and Mike shrinking and transporting into a television set. The production was engaging and highly entertaining with many comical moments featuring dance moves and songs adapted by Priory cast
members, and who can forget the Oompa-Loompas synchronized chorus! A sincere thank you to the entire cast and crew, directors, administrators, faculty and everyone who in any way helped to make this production possible through countless hours of rehearsal, hard work and commitment. Big or Small, there was something for everyone, and this production was indeed a perfect family treat!
