The performances on stage was a sight to watch. The students acted naturally, meticulously and perfectly. The collaborative efforts and hard work of the teachers and students was evident as the students performed brilliantly on the stage. Some of the skits were accompanied by song and dance, which was beautifully coordinated by the students. All the teams were at their creative best, as there was a limit to the number of properties that could be used by each team. The performance of the budding actors was also successful in providing food for thought. The topics for the event were carefully chosen and mirrored the concerns of the society at large.
Although, the event was competitive in nature, the applause that each team received by the audience and Judges was testimony to the fact that each one of them was a winner, as all the plays had conveyed a powerful message. Mrs Anita Sadanand complimented the teachers and students for their efforts.
