Recently, pupils from our CTA Theatre Company performed their original script at The Lichfield Garrick’s ‘Schools Ignite’ Festival. This involved three schools developing performance based on the theme of Chaos and Order.

Our pupils took inspiration from our very own Mr Lloyd, Subject Lead for History, setting a homework piece focused on The Tug of War between Chaos and Order throughout History. Our play included Khoas and Themes, the Gods of Chaos and Order, arriving to debate which historical figures should be included in this piece of homework. The play was written and created by the cast and supported by our Year 11 Drama Ambassadors and Max, our Year 12 Musical Director, leaving our pupils to inevitably put their CTA twist on history.

Ms D Maymand, Subject Leader for Drama and Performing Arts said “The whole process has been such a joy. We started with nothing but the theme and over several months this incredible witty dialogue, fun characters and incredible song and dances have emerged. The pupils took complete ownership and were adding their creative input right to the last moment. They were all so professional at the theatre completing tech runs and working with industry professionals as if they did it every day. Even as the curtain came down I was being asked “what’s the next play Miss?!” So, watch this space..!”

We couldn’t be prouder of our CTA Theatre Company for their outstanding performance at the festival. Stay tuned to see what they have in store for us next—something tells us it’s going to be amazing!
