The intermediate team from MSJ is one of only eight teams remaining in the all-schools competition that boasts 200 student teams across Sydney and NSW.
Team Coach and Creative Arts Leader of Learning at MSJ, Ms Kermode says the best thing about the challenge is that nobody knows what could happen on the day.
“I love seeing what people come up with as they play games that make them vulnerable,” she said.
With drama available as an elective at MSJ from Years 9-12, opportunities such as this add to a range of experiences available to unlock creativity in the growing minds of the young.
Team member Tatum said that compared to the regional heats, the semi-finals were a little more difficult.
“The areas we had to improvise on were sound effects, genre reply and soap opera,” she said.
Team member Aimee made her Theatresports debut this year and says that she enjoys the unpredictability of it.
The four-person team also includes Theresa and Stacey, with Tatum explaining how they have all formed “friendships between our team as well as the other teams in the Theatresports competition. We all became friends and enjoy cheering each other on”.
Watch this hilarious spectacular and cheer on MSJ from 2pm this Sunday, June 12; purchase tickets via 9550 3666 or online at premier.ticketek.com.au.
