This year the sen-ior drama student went on the biannual Sydney drama trip. Five days filled with fantastic shows, numerous taxi rides and a spot of shopping. We had an incredible time sharing new experiences with the 17 crazy drama students, Mr Walton and Mr and Mrs Fitzsimons, who were brave enough to take us. Throughout the days we took tours of the major theatre companies seeing a slice of life behind the curtains. We took in the sights of the beautiful Darling Harbour and experienced the hustle and bustle of the Paddy’s markets. Each night we saw a different style of drama performance. These varied from the side splitting comedy, “One man two guvnors” which left us in tears, to the expressive contemporary ballet at the magnificent Sydney opera house and then the unique love story ”The bull the moon and the coronet of stars” which was a two person show performed in an intimate theatre setting . These performances gave us an insight into the world of drama beyond the classroom and introduced us to many exciting career possibilities. Overall the Sydney drama trip was an incredible experience and one not to be missed by future drama students. Sydney Drama Trip
