ACSian Theatre presents The Tempest!

From 4th to 6th April 2024, ACSian Theatre presented an adaptation of a Shakespearean Classic - The Tempest.

The Tempest is a classic Shakespearean tale touching on the human conditions of vengeance and empathy, ambition, and acceptance. This exciting production tells the story of a group of helpless sailors who get shipwrecked on a mysterious island inhabited by magical creatures. The island is ruled by a powerful sorceress — Prosperina. With her loyal servant, Ariel, she plays magical tricks on the sailors as revenge for exiling her ten years ago. Meanwhile, the monster of the island, Caliban, has grown bitter at Prosperina’s rule and wants to take the island for himself.

Both JC2s and JC1s came together to put this play together, pouring their hearts into making a spectacular performance with its vibrant dances and harmonious choral singing. The show ended to rollicking tunes and joyous laughter! Not only does this performance mark the end of the JC2’s time on the stage, it also begins the transition to the JC1s taking the lead.

We could not have done it without the help of our wonderful teachers: Mrs Geetha Creffield, Ms Michelle Wong, Mdm Baljeet Kaur, Mr Tobias Teo and Ms Annabel Tan. We would like to thank these amazing teachers who dedicated themselves to supporting ACSian Theatre. Another special thanks to our choreographer, Dr. Filomar Cortezano, for carefully guiding us through the lively dances and the animated movement sequences. We would also like to extend our gratitude to our loyal alumni who came back to support our members, in both performance and crewing. Thank you for returning to help us!

Lastly, a big thank you to the audience members for their never-ending support! We hope you have thoroughly enjoyed this production of The Tempest.

To God be the Glory, The Best is Yet to Be!
