Our competitive Theatresports players have been busy this term – hosting and competing in a Player Night on 14 August and winning a Festival Night at Rangitoto College on 20 August! Our team entertained the audience with their energy, storytelling, and the bold choices they made in each scene.
Our team for the Festival Night consisted of Elliana Tait, Layla Whiteside, Theo Teasdale, and Julia Wilkins, with Lexie McMillian, Alastor Spear, and Charlotte Murphy in reserve.
“The Player Nights were an incredible opportunity to improvise in a more competitive setting and interact with the other amazing teams. I particularly enjoyed learning the new game ‘Switch Left’, in which players revolve between scenes, which definitely helped us win each night! Everyone is so encouraging and supportive, so the atmosphere is very uplifting. You never know where a scene is going next with improvisation, which makes it very enjoyable both to watch and participate in. They often end in hilarity, too, which makes the evenings comedic entertainment. The other teams made me laugh so much!”

This victory is a proud moment for us, and we’re excited to see what’s next for our talented performers.
