On the 15th December Point Break drama held their End of term performance night for the kids and teens stage classes. The room was set up as a theatre in the round, filled with nervous/excited performers, beamingly proud parents and anticipating spectators. The show began with an introduction from the newly elected captain of Drama, Will Mcinnes, reminding ‘everyone to please turn off your mobile phones’.
The first performance group of the night was the youngest class of Point Break Drama,who came to the stage with confidence, ready to entertain. They brought smiles and “awww”s as they drew the audience in with their cuteness.
The Wednesday teen class was up next, their execution of ballerina’s, slaps and glue were brilliant, demonstrating their developed skills.
Tuesday class showed off their fun side with comedies duologues. The Audience got the pleasure of hearing this line “Once he got mad and scrunched up a bunch of waffles…… that is intense”, and seeing some very cheery male cheerleaders.
The Wednesday and Thursday Kids classes both did a great job also with comedies. There were some “skinned rats” (due to bad hair cuts) some computer haters at the RTA, and some hard hitting facts “girls always act like jerks when they like you”.
The final group of the night was the Thursday teen group, whose complete commitment to their characters launch their scenes into the audience receiving laughs all round.
A stand out performance of the night was a duologue performed by Felix Stawman and Josh Rushton, that was utterly hilarious but truthful and believable at the same time. A time warp story about a boy who finds out that instead of the teen hunk he thought he was, he is a nerd (“devastating”).
All in all it was a very entertaining and enjoyable night and every performer should be proud of their great work.
