Grade 7 Theater Workshop: Prime Time

Class 7a demonstrated what can happen when a TV show turns into a “battle” over what to watch. Through their skits , the class took us on a journey through prime time, offering a portrayal of various TV shows that was part ironic, part humorous.

 

Class 7b ‘s topic was Everyday Life, Differently. Right from the start, the group made it clear that coping with our perfectly normal everyday lives sometimes presents us with seemingly insurmountable challenges. From bullies on the subway, a police stop accompanied by violent vomiting, a kidnapping from an ice cream shop, and the diagnosis of dangerous ossodontitis—along with many other typical situations from (partly) real life—we, the audience, witnessed an everyday madness taken to its logical conclusion.

 

With her contribution “Stranded” , Class 7c wrapped up the presentation with a fireworks display of ideas. Here, too, everyday life spiraled out of control, but with nonstop gags: A plane crash with a drunk pilot and a smooth-talking kebab vendor on board, dangerous secret agents, frustrated boarding school girls, bickering “cinnamon bitches,” and a fairy godmother who, in the end, used her magic wand to make everything turn out happily after all.
