Stage Shenanigans: Year 9 Drama Showcase

It was a week of laughter, chaos, and creative energy as the Year 9 Drama class took to the stage for their inaugural one-act showcase, Shenanigans. This fun-filled evening featured three comedic one-act plays, all part of the students' coursework for their Year 9 Drama elective.

The show kicked off with Fast Food, a quirky and hilarious exploration of life behind the counter at McBurgers. The play delved into the eccentric world of fast-food workers and their often bizarre interactions with customers, offering plenty of laughs along the way. Next, the cast presented 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse—a tongue-in-cheek survival guide for the undead, packed with plenty of quirky tips and comedic moments. Finally, Brooklyn 88, a sharp and witty parody of the classic buddy cop genre, was student-scripted and also featured at Youth Fest last term.

The students brought an impressive level of energy, commitment, and enthusiasm to their performances, clearly enjoying every moment on stage. The evening was a true celebration of creativity, teamwork, and the power of comedy.

Congratulations to the Year 9 Drama students for their outstanding performances. We are excited to see the One Act Showcase become an annual tradition at St Mark’s, as it helps to build on the strong performance culture of our St Mark’s Theatre Company. Well done to all involved—we can’t wait to see what next year’s showcase has in store!
