HOG teacher acting in Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters

We are very proud to announce that one of our teachers, Moustafa Khalil, has been casted in the production of the American University in Cairo. The Three Sisters, is written by Anton Chekhov in 1900 and considered to be one of the best written plays in the theatre world. It tells the story of the Prozorov family, the three sisters (Olga, Masha, and Irina) and their brother Andrei and shows their struggle to cope with the world they live in. Throughout the play, we see all the characters strive to accomplish what they most seek only to fail and lose everything in the end. Chekhov is one of the most celebrated playwrights in the world and Three Sisters has influenced and changed drama, storytelling, and literature for years.

The show times are running from December 2nd till December 9th 2010 at the Malak Gabr Theatre in the New AUC Campus in New Cairo. For more information and/or tickets please contact AUC theatre box office.

The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy wishes best of luck to our wonderful teacher!

End of year performances 2010

The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy in Cairo performed "The Chicken hearted fox" and "The Storyland" at our annual end of year performances. The performances were wonderful this year and really demonstrated the excellent communication skills all our students are developing. In the pictures you can see our famous storybook characters meeting at the storyland, Goldilocks eating her porridge and the lower primary's fantastic foxes sneaking into the farm and the Farmer and Mrs. Gills milking the cows.

YOUTH THEATRE WORKSHOPS

Our Cairo branch has been running youth theatre workshops at schools in Cairo which have turned out to be a huge success! The latest one was held at the American International School at New Cairo where students ages 13-18 participated in our one hour long workshop during their school day. It was such a great fun working with so enthusiastic, positive and energetic drama students!

UPPER PRIMARY TV COMMERCIALS

One of the favourite things the upper primary students enjoy doing are the TV commercials. Each student gets a change to plan, draw and perform their own designed commercial couple of times during the term. They really stretch their imagination to the full length and give amazing ideas nobody would ever think of before!

End Of Year Productions

Throughout the world, the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy, the world's largest drama school, runs productions at the end of the year. This is culmination of the work covered in the Academy and is always a huge showpiece for parents and friends.
