We have comprehensive performing arts facilities including a 300 seat auditorium, a theatre workshop, a dance studio and two drama studios.
The Howard Hall is a large and flexible space which forms the centerpiece of the school’s Performing Arts area. It features
- Comprehensive lighting rig and sound system
- The majority of our productions – from large scale musicals like ‘Les Miserables’ and ‘West Side Story’ to smaller more intimate performances such as the GCSE Drama production of ‘Bouncers’.
- seating which can also be curtained off to create an atmospheric events area used for balls and our own Cabaret Evening.
Adjoining the theatre is a large scenery workshop, green room, prop and costume store and dressing facilities.
Drama Room 1 is a large space adjoining the Howard Hall and the Music School. It is used for classroom drama, as a rehearsal room and peripatetic Dance Lessons and contains a comprehensive sound system, video projection facilities, a mirrored wall and ballet bar.
Drama Room 2 and The Studio are smaller ‘black box’ spaces used for classroom drama from Years 7 to 13. They contain lighting facilities, and up to date projection and sound systems.
Speech & Drama is taught at School House – away from the hustle and bustle of the main school. Several teaching rooms are available as well as a small library of play-scripts.
