S3 Pupils in the Spotlight at Hutchesons'

06 S3 Drama Competition Hutchesons' stage stars of the future took to the boards for the S3 Drama competition held in the Fotheringay Auditorium. More than 45 pupils took part in the evening in front of a packed audience of families and friends, and the eagle eyes of judges Sheila Grier, RSAMD graduate and well-known face on TV; Lyndsay Fenton, a former pupil at Hutchesons' who has specialised in Community Theatre in her Drama and Theatre Arts course; and Neil Millar, the founding Head of Drama at The Glasgow Academy and a graduate of the School of Drama at Queen Margaret University and the University of Strathclyde.

As usual there were three categories; monologues, duologues and group presentations, with winners' names announced Oscar-style by the Rector opening a gold envelope.

The winners were:
