Extra-curricular Drama

We strongly believe that being involved in Drama provides students with experiences that develop not only theatre skills but essential life skills:

Learning about leading and working in a team effectively, developing self confidence and self presentation, increasing empathy, problem solving, enhancing communication skills, learning about trust, to take risks and to acquire artistic appreciation.

Drama at Trent is a focal point for creativity and self-expression. We have three well-equipped designated drama areas and employ our own Designer.

Each term we stage three Events. One large scale production, one studio production and skills based workshops. This means every student will has the chance to be in a project or performance each term, including one large scale production, whether as an actor or in the crew.

Our productions range in scale and style, and offer students the chance to work with professional theatre practitioners, to enhance performance skills, learn stage and costume design, stage management and how to become fully competent theatre technicians. From students who want to join in for fun to aspiring actors, we cater for all our students needs.

Recent Productions include: The Bench, The Musicians, The Short Shakespeare Festival, The Birthday Party, A Handbag and The Sixth Form Revue.
