TWENTY eight learners from Waterfall College flexed their artistic muscles, giving the audience many laughs and even a few tears at the school’s play, Alice Through the Looking Glass.
“We are dedicated to offering drama, music, design and public speaking to all our learners,” said Waterfall College’s principal, Jeanette van der Merwe, “this year’s drama production has entertained our families and friends.”
The show was held in partnership with Theatrefolk and the costumes, set and lighting created the backdrop for a delightful experience, enhancing an impressive display of talent by the learners.
The head of drama at Waterfall College, Greg Kyle, said the Lindsey Price script was chosen as, “We wanted to do something different in terms of style from the previous years. This is a sort of dreamy, surreal non-comedy, unlike the parodies we have previously done.”
Grade 11 learner, Abigail Kane, embraced her role as lead character Alice, commanding an extensive narrative script. She drew the audience into Alice’s other-worldly experience, exploring wonderland through the looking glass.
From the delightful talking flowers to the White Queen, played by Grade 12 student, Brooklyn Webster, and the feisty Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, played by matriculants Tafadzwa Thabethe and Andraya Kruger, the audience was introduced to a charming cast of characters.
After the final performance, there were few dry eyes in the hall as the school’s head boy, Dylan Cooper, who played the White King, thanked Greg Kyle for his guidance.
“The annual drama production is a team effort by parents, learners and staff at the school.
Waterfall College is grateful to all those who have made Alice Through the Looking Glass a memorable showcase of talent, fun and entertainment,” said Van der Merwe.
