The Annual Production 2019 organized by the OSC Theatre Group was performed last week. This year it was a musical by the name “OLIVER”. It took place on the 5th, 6th and 7th of December 2019 at the school auditorium. The actors and actresses had been rehearsing from the start of September 2019 under the guidance of Ms Jackson and Ms Duncan. Students from all grades from 6 to 12 took part in the play and it was truly successful. The support extended by the band was also highly appreciated. Everything from the costumes to the singing and acting was all perfect and almost all of the audience offered praises.

So I decided that maybe if I could lend a hand to help with the front of the house it would be really good. I signed up for Front Of House help on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, me Talia, Alex, Jack, Karven and Andrew got together and divided ourselves among the ushering and the front of house. I along with Talia, Jack and Karven ushered the guests to their seats. We were able to complete our task without much happening so I think it was successful. On Thursday, it was me, Ashwini, Rukshi, Sanya and Luke. The process was the same as before but it was the night of the Gala and the number of guests was limited. I helped in greeting the guests at the entrance and checking their tickets.

It was my first time and it was a really good experience. We had to check for the tickets and also to usher them to their respectant seats. It was a short process of about 30 minutes and it was fun and interesting. I enjoyed every moment of it. Through this, I learnt to take responsibility for an act or situation as each of us was given a specific area for ushering. I also learnt to greet the guests and be proactive. Another thing I received through this was to keep track of something after looking at it only for a couple of times. ( We familiarized ourselves with the positioning of the seats just once and we kept track of it till the end.) So, overall I believe that it was very enjoyable and experiencing at the same time.
