Queen’s College holds a long-standing reputation as a centre of excellence for the Performing Arts, led by a team of highly experienced and dedicated practitioners. The College presents an annual season of ambitious and diverse performances, including plays, musicals, dance dramas, and concerts, with students of all ages fully involved. Recent productions have included titles such as Les Miserables, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Into the Woods, and Shrek. The Performing Arts Festival, held each autumn, brings together competitions in House Dance, Drama, Singing, poetry recitals, a battle of the bands, and platforms for new playwriting. The program is further enriched by workshops and career guidance from top theatre professionals, including stars from the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre, film, and television.
Over 75% of senior pupils participate in Co-Curricular Performing Arts activities annually, with opportunities both on stage and behind the scenes. Students are actively involved in stage management, sound, lighting, and even production design. In addition to performances at school, students have the chance to showcase their talents at regional festivals and annually take a production to the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival, providing valuable opportunities to perform on a larger stage.
