A group of enthusiastic drama students are currently working hard on bringing you a stage production of the comedy play “Teechers” by John Godber. “Teechers”, described as a “classroom comedy”, was first performed at the Edinburgh Festival in 1987 by the Hull Truck Theatre Company. It was directed by John Godber.
The Preston Lodge High School Production will take place in the present (or in 2008) and the setting will be our very own illustrious educational establishment… The stars of the show will number a host of current PL students and teachers. (Or should that be teechers?)
Teechers!
More information about the production will appear over the coming months. For more information about how you might help or simply come along to our show, please see Mrs Gammie or Jennifer Campbell in S6.

Preston Lodge High School Drama department was established in 2004 as a result of a drama studio being built in the school by PPP. The studio is equipped with modern lighting equipment, which is accessible to all. The main hall has also gained a good quality lighting board and brand new lanterns. Ms. Gammie has built up a small store containing props and costumes. Drama has had great support from the staff in Preston Lodge and has been very well received by the pupils participating. The number of pupils taking up drama in S3 and S5/6 is growing every year.
Curriculum
Drama is currently not taught to first and second year pupils. In previous years, third and fourth year students studied and performed at Standard Grade level, however this years third year are following the Intermediate 2 course, which is of approximately equal difficulty, however it follows the same structure as the Higher course. Fifth and sixth year students studying drama at this time also follow the Intermediate 2 course, however there is a hope that Higher will be taught starting from 2008.
Staff
Drama is taught solely by Emily Gammie who is from Kirkcaldy in Fife. She studied in Newcastle upon Tyne at the University of Northumbria. She likes Theatre (obviously), reading, food (eating it not cooking it!), but dislikesprejudice, drivers who don’t indicate and mushrooms.
