You Couldn’t Make This Stuff Up… Actually, They Did!

A vault break-in that turns into a story of unrequited love, an interview with a lipstick expert who is horrified when her magenta lipstick is replaced with orange, and a soap opera scene set at a car wash featuring a car that hasn’t been washed in eighty years!

These were just some of the wonderful storylines explored by the MLC Juinor School Theatresports Team at Monday night’s Theatresports Schools Challenge Heats. Hosted by Impro Australia and attended by schools from across the Inner West, the MLC School players showcased incredible teamwork, characterisation and imagination while creating entertaining stories on the spot.

represented their school proudly and tied for FOURTH PLACE in the competition! This fantastic result means they have qualified for the next round, and we can’t wait to do it all again at the Semi Finals on Tuesday 3 November at St Patrick’s College, Strathfield, at 7pm.

The Speech and Drama Studio would like to congratulate the MLC Junior School Theatresports Team and their coach, Taylor Buoro-Long, on their incredible performance!

Want to give Theatresports a go?

We currently have spaces available for new members to join our Theatresports classes, coached by Ms Taylor, on Tuesday afternoons from 3.20pm–4.50pm in G33. Theatresports is a fantastic way to build confidence, creativity, teamwork and quick-thinking skills, all while having plenty of fun!

New students are welcome to come along for a trial class to see what Theatresports is all about. We’d love to see some new faces!

Here’s what the team had to say about the competition.

Cassandra Eadie (Year 8) – ‘I find that Theatresports is harder than normal acting, but it is more fun and people should join and challenge themselves.’
Annika Perosh (Year 8) – ‘It was my first competition, and I learnt a lot of new skills that I can use every day.’
Evie Briers (Year 8) – ‘We have a great time, and it helps give me confidence in other activities too.’
April Cookson (Year 8) – ‘Theatresports is such a fun experience and helps boost your confidence.’
Rosy Nichols (Year 7) – ‘Through Theatresports I’ve met new people and become a better actress.’
