Theatre & Drama
Children learn a lot faster and imbibe value education through these tools in an effective
manner. In addition, they also pick up language skills through dramatization. Working in groups
for this activity also builds the spirit of collaboration, cooperation and teamwork.
We at KCPS use theatre/drama frequently at all stages of education. Younger children love this
activity and enjoy role plays immensely. Students of senior school enact plays not only from
their language textbooks but also from a wide range of well-known plays in English including
those of William Shakespeare. All sections of classes from I to IX put up drama performances in
front of their parents at least once a year besides staging plays on special occasions such as the
annual function. We also have a strong tradition of street plays which we sometimes take to
the streets of Jammu in an effort to contribute our share to public awareness programmes
related to significant issues such as health, environment, literacy, children's welfare, road safety
and so on. Our open-air theatre 'The Mandua' is used extensively not only for theatrical
performances in front of parents and guests but also for presenting various activities related to
music, dance and public speaking.
