There were plenty of laughs, tears, and joyous moments at this year’s St Michael’s Drama Festival – the English equivalent for the biannual Free State arts festival.
Amanda van Eeden, organiser of the festival at St Michael’s, says they were amazed at the amount of entries.
A whopping 1 400 learners from 20 schools across Bloemfontein competed in the festival from 19 to 22 May.
“We just wanted the learners to enjoy themselves,” Van Eeden said about the festival.
“Yes, the prizes are important, but if they have fun performing on the stage, then we have reached our goal.”
Participants were of the Brandwag Primary School, the Divine Elite School, Laerskool Dr C.F. Visser, Eduplus, Eunice, Laerskool Fichardtpark, Grey College (primary and secondary), Hoërskool Jim Fouché, Laerskool Kruitberg, Laerskool Olympia, Hoër Meisieskool Oranje, Laer Meisieskool Oranje, Laerskool Sand du Plessis, Hoërskool Staatspresident Swart, Laerskool Sentraal, the St Andrew’s School, St Michael’s, Laerskool Willem Postma and the Petro Muller Studio.
