Annual School Plays

The Annual School Plays in all three schools are a major production each year, especially on the alternate years at the College when the production is a musical. In many of the productions, Bishops teamed up with pupils from other schools which also increases the complexity of the undertaking. The producers have to co-operate and bargain with all the the demands on the actors’ time and commitments. The director of each production is also listed.
