IASAS MUSIC CC Showcase – Feb. 21 & 22 (3:00pm HS Choir Room)
The annual IASAS Music Cultural Convention Showcase performances will take place on Wednesday, February 21 and Thursday, February 22. Selected delegates from the high school vocal, piano, strings and band areas will be performing their individual solos and ensemble selections on these two days, beginning at 3:00 pm in the HS Choir Room. These performances give our delegates a chance to perform for an ISB audience, and also serves as a warmup to their adjudicated performances that will happen at Taipei in early March. Audience members may come and go between performers as necessary, and a program will be provided as to what day and order delegates will be performing. Come enjoy the incredible talent and skill of our ISB Music Delegates, who have all been working for several months on high quality music preparing for these performances!
IASAS CC Drama Showcase – February 26 (5:30pm CCT)
DNA by Dennis Kelly – A group of teenagers do something bad. Really bad. And then decide to cover the whole thing up. While some are able to cope with the guilt – and even thrive on the publicity they’ve gained – others crumble and suffer under the weight and trauma of what they’ve done. But with some of the group enjoying the fame, where’s the incentive to put things right? And when their crime comes back to haunt them – do they come clean, or delve in even deeper? A poignant and sometimes funny tale with a very dark heart, DNA is a play you don’t quickly forget…
International School Bangkok’s production of Dennis Kelly’s dark and shocking play DNA raises a number of ethical questions, and provokes the audience into asking themselves: What is more important: telling the truth, or protecting one’s own?
Cast: Anshika Chauhan (Junior), Grace Armstrong (Senior), Jeannie MacRae (Senior), Kaori Hida (Senior), Oscar Zaffar Giles (Senior), Phillip Sund (Junior), RJ O’Connell (Junior) and Sarah Armstrong (Sophomore)
