Theatresports: Anything could happen!

Our two Avcol teams kicked off the season with a stellar performance at the first TYP Theatresports match last week, going head-to-head with Mt Albert Grammar and Kaipara College—and coming out on top.

Team Ho Ho Ho, featuring Alice Strom, Mia Mave, and Gideon Vaopunimatagi, and The Divas, decked out in fabulous floral '70s-style gowns, made up of Arlo Lorien-King, Finn Hall, and Liam Presling, both delivered hilariously entertaining performances (Avcol student Lizard Wright graciously volunteered to be a part of another school's team as they were one player short).

One highlight was the "Furniture" game, where Team Ho Ho Ho earned 10 out of 10 for entertainment value. In this game, Gideon had to physically become pieces of furniture throughout the scene—think lamp, couch, and coffee table, all while staying in character and telling the story of losing a passport on the way to the airport.

Another crowd favourite was "One Voice", where Arlo and Finn had to speak in unison at all times - while pretending to be on a first date jumping off the Sky Tower. Much laughter ensued!

“We work so hard to be in this club and really love what we’re doing," says Alice, "we love it when students support us as fellow students and their families support us on stage!"

🗓️ Catch the next match at the Avcol drama rooms on Tuesday, 26 August at 6pm. It promises to be another night of laughter, surprises, and top-tier student talent.
