Drama is extremely popular at St Catherine’s. Throughout each year there are several productions and many co-curricular activities for pupils of all ages.
Every two years, we take a cast and crew to the Edinburgh Fringe. This is a fantastic experience for the girls; they love the fun of the Fringe Festival and the wonderful experience of being in a professional theatre.
The most recent school production of 1984 was an amazing celebration of the girls’ talent: they performed with great depth in their characters and a level of maturity seldome seen in schools.
Other recent productions include Bring It On, Chicago, Shrek! The Musical. Each year the main Senior School production is open to all girls from Year 7 to Year 13 and pupils support the shows technically and backstage. There are also Prep productions for girls and parents to enjoy, and each year a special Sixth Form production allows A Level pupils to showcase their talents.
Some shows are performed in the Drama Studio, or we make the most of our large school hall and stage; others are staged at The Exchange, Twickenham.
