Four Gulf Islands Secondary acting students take a quick photo break during a weekend rehearsal*.
Details of their show Journey to the West are below.

Journey To The West is a Chinese classic written in the early fifteenth century, adapted and performed by our Acting 11/12 class.

Journey To The West takes place in Ancient China, and eventually takes the audience to Ancient India. We get to see Buddhist temples, small fishing villages, The Court of Heaven, and the much more. It is a play centering around the relationship of mind and body, and how one reaches their destiny.

Featuring sneaky monkeys, wise monks, greedy pigs, kind Bodhisattvas, and the Tathagatta Buddha himself, this play will leave you, perhaps, almost as enlightened as the Buddhist monks themselves! A performance you won’t want to miss!
