We have theater in my school. ILast week I participated in the Drama. The event name was “The Mirage”. It told the story of a Fisherman and his greedy wife. On that day, our teachers asked us to do makeup at home and then come to school.
All the drama students were then given the costumes. We all then went to the backstage. The event began after the parents took their seats. We went and spoke our dialogues. We were then given the refreshments at the backstage. After a song performance, a photograph was clicked of all the participants on stage. After that, we all went to meet our parents. We introduced my parents to our teachers. Then we changed our costumed. It was a wonderful event. We will cherish it forever.
