Drama report by Bradley

On the 30th of June 2005, Taman Sea’s very own drama team took part in the INTI College Drama Competition at the Actors Studio Bangsar. The competition was head judged by none other than one of the biggest icons of Malaysian theatre, Mr. Joe Hasham, co-founder of the Actors Studio Bangsar as well as very well recognized representatives from INTI College. Their play, 5:32 Before Dawn, won the prestigious title beating other premier schools well known for their stage plays such as Victoria Institute , St’ John’s and La Salle. This is the first time Taman SEA has been invited and won this event.
Fresh from their controversial lost (coming in third) in the district level on home ground, Taman Sea took revenge on the two teams that were voted first and second which were also competing at the event. Overcoming various obstacles such as one of their main actors who were unable to be present on competition day, Taman Sea pulled through with great determination. Their main character, Lim Sheng Feixiang also bagged the Best Performer award. Impressing critics and plaudits alike, Mr. Hasham has offered to sponsor him to take his talent to a higher level. Not to be outdone, their play is also in production talks with Mr. Hasham to develop it into a full scale stage feature. This has been an excellent achievement for the school and hopefully a stepping stone for the many undiscovered talents right here in our very own backyard.


5:32 Before Dawn consists of: Bradley Liew , Lee Yee Cheng , Lim Sheng Feixiang , Eric Chan, Chia Eu Jinn, Arvindra Kumar, Sanjay Valen , Kok Chu Chian, Abigail Huang, Lok Li Ying, Sherri Chua , Loh Wei Wen, Kan Miew San , Ian Kam and last but not lease Toh Xue Rou.
