ISD students stage “A Christmas Carol: A School Remix"

International School Dhaka (ISD) recently organised a series of drama shows on "A Christmas Carol: A School Remix". Set in the modality of theatre, these shows took place at ISD's campus auditorium on December 14, 2022, and were performed by ISD students.

The musical play "A Christmas Carol: A School Remix" is a school version of the original "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Created by the Creative Primary Literacy Group of the UK, the play tells the tale of an old and mean head of school, Ivy Loops, who runs a dark and miserable school. In this school, the teachers are underpaid and overworked, and the students are not allowed to smile or have fun. 

Regarding the event, Jay Paguyo, the director of the play, and primary school Drama teacher at ISD said, "This is a very significant experience for students not just to perform on stage but more importantly that they understand the real meaning of sharing and kindness to others as the message of the story. We hope we can build a culture of performing with a purpose so it becomes relevant to the lives of the students and to the audiences as well. The students had so much fun learning how to perform on stage, hence, their social skills were challenged and they definitely showed a lot of teamwork and problem-solving skills."
