The 2023 Junior Drama Production explored the wonders of multiple universes through an adaptation of Jules Verne’s classic 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea. Adelaide Chan (9M) (pictured) played Professor Aronnax, one of three adventurers who happen upon a never-before-seen submarine ship, the Nautilus, as they search for a sea monster wreaking havoc in the oceans. Aboard the curious watercraft, they explore uninhabited worlds and must escape before the notorious Captain Nemo does something completely insane! Staged in the Gehrmann Theatre over three nights during September, audiences experienced a luminous digital set design that guided audiences across universes to times and places one can only imagine.
