The Riebeek College Drama Club, with 180 cast members and a few staff members, produced the “What a World!” drama show held at the school on 24^th and 26^th February 2011.

This superb show, directed by Rethabile Lottie Botlhole, a Grade 11 learner, aimed to celebrate our world and point out that one life can make a difference. It took a look at our wonderful world, pondered its challenges and sought to find solutions.

The production explored the evolution of the world and then took a journey to discover the wonders within it. Along the way, the show demonstrated our world in crisis particularly to war, weather, power, materialism and poverty; and then emphasized hope and the potential to make a significant difference. The discovery of what a cruel, crazy, beautiful, big, wild world we have proved to be an ‘out of this world’ experience.

“The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do. In the show the cast was a bunch of dreamers who honour our planet and our place in this world, said Lottie.

The Drama Club annually produces a production in which the learners present items which are scripted, rehearsed and directed by themselves with sound visuals, lighting and great organizing all being learner-driven. A Theatre Dinner was held on the second evening as a Grade 9 Fundraiser to extend the excitement of this phenomenal performance.
