Theatre Circle – SSLSD
The theatre is a world of its own; it brings to life the unfathomable and satiates the soul that thirsts for entertainment.
We at Stafford Sri Lankan School, Doha realised the value of introducing this aesthetic aspect to students and thereby formed the school theatre club two years ago. The inception of Theatre Circle SSLSD paved the way for the debut school production, The Beauty and the Beast, which was warmly acknowledged by theatre-lovers in Qatar.
The second production was an adaptation of Mamma Mia a movie consisting of memorable ABBA songs and performed at QNCC. The reason behind selecting this script was first and foremost to bring forth novelty, innovation and modernity.
The drama club was successful not only in performing it in Doha but also in taking a cast and crew of 100 to stage the performance in Sri Lanka as well. It was a grand feat for the school.
The club hopes to maintain and develop one’s love for theatre by taking students to experience various production brought to Qatar and also by involving them in school productions. This will open opportunities to showcase hidden talent and enhance passion for this great work of art.
