Perkins House Triumphs in Thrilling Theatre Sports Inter-House Competition

Laughter echoed through the Packer Theatre last week as students from all Houses took to the stage for this year’s Theatre Sports Inter-House Competition. After an afternoon packed with quick wit, big characters, and boundless creativity, it was Perkins House that emerged victorious, claiming the top spot with their high-energy performances and outstanding teamwork.

Theatre Sports is a form of improvised theatre that challenges students to think on their feet, work collaboratively, and trust their instincts. Teams compete in a series of games that require them to invent scenes, characters, and dialogue in the moment—often with hilarious and surprising results. This year’s games included favourites like “Death in a Minute,” “Expert Double Figures,” and “Space Jump,” each showcasing the students’ creativity and courage.

What makes Theatre Sports so unique—and so valuable—is that it combines learning with laughter. Students develop confidence, communication skills, and spontaneity without the pressure of scripts or rehearsals. It’s a powerful reminder that learning can be dynamic, engaging, and most of all, fun.

A big thank you to all who participated, supported, and cheered from the audience. Congratulations once again to Perkins House for their outstanding victory and to all teams for making the competition such a memorable and joy-filled event.

We can’t wait to see what next year brings!
