DRAMA
The School Production
Open to all year groups, the school production is our biggest event on the Drama
Department calendar. Each year we alternate between a play and a musical. Parts are given
to reliable girls who are successful in the audition process.There is no audition process for
crew roles, and girls can join Tech Club if they want to be a part of the stage crew. The
school production is usually performed in February, before half term.
The Senior Production
Open to years 10 to U6, this production is student led. Our Theatre Captains direct the
play, and co-produce it together with our Tech Captains. Entry to the cast is through an
audition process. Directors are encouraged to produce plays involving a large cast, to
provide plenty of opportunities for large numbers of girls to be involved. There is no
audition process for crew roles, and girls can joinTech Club if they want to be a part of the
stage crew.The production is usually performed in November.
The Lower School Production
Girls in years 8 and 9 may opt to take part in the Lower School Production, directed by
MissTricker (Speech and Drama). Auditions for the Lower School Production take place at
the beginning of the autumn term. Rehearsals take place every Friday after school, and the
performances are in the Summer Term.
TheYear 7 Christmas Play
Although this is not technically an extra-curricular event, it is worth making a note of as
it involves every girl in year 7. Performed in December to the local elderly citizens at our
annual Christmas Tea Party, this production has become a Godolphin tradition.
Tech Club
Open to girls in years 9-U6,Tech Club is a fun Friday afternoon club run by our Performing
Arts Technician, James, and our Tech Captains.Tech Club girls learn how to run the Bishop
Centre, with focus on lighting, sound, stage management, set/prop design, and costume
design. Club members become the crew on all of our productions. If you are interested in
joining, please turn up to the Bishop Centre after school and speak to James and the Tech
Captains (Ali Flanagan & Syrie Gwyn Palmer).
GLTV
GLTV is run by Ms Adams, and involves creating a monthly TV news bulletin to broadcast
to the school community. GLTV crew members will be responsible for filming various
events across the school calendar, including sport, lectures, house events, year group day
visits, overseas visits, and all other activities that take place within the school community.
The GLTV crew will be responsible for all filming, editing, presenting (news reading) and
reporting, and will produce the 3 minute bulletin once a month. Editing and news-reading/
presenting will be completed after school on a Friday in the recording studio. All other
filming will be at various times, depending on the event.
