DRAMA REVIEW

Auditioned productions are a significant component of Co-curricular Drama at Brisbane Girls Grammar School, providing girls studying Drama an opportunity to engage in a rigorous rehearsal process to stage a production for a season of performances. The School’s focus on contemporary theatre creates an environment where young artists can refine and extend skills learned in the classroom, while working as part of a dynamic ensemble. By engaging locally and nationally regarded artists across the year, Girls Grammar productions emulate the quality and energy of professional performances. So far in 2018, the School has staged two productions: Eugene Ionesco’s absurdist Rhinoceros , produced by the Senior Drama ensemble; and the Year 7 and 8 production, Stories in the Dark , directed by Brisbane-based theatre-maker, Thomas Larkin.
