A note from the author:
This was the quiz that I hosted for our annual Drama Department Dinner. 5 rounds, takes approximately 45 mins/1 hour or so depending on numbers and method of scoring (we used the teacher table to score). Our students are placed into different Theatre Companies (drama houses) for various events that they partake in each year.
Round 1 - General Theatre, Film & TV
Round 2 - Music Round - Name Musical & Song
Round 3 - School Drama Department (Make these your own!)
Overview of Resources:
These resources are for a complete quiz event.
Included:
Quiz Questions
Quiz Answer Sheets
Please note:
You will have to supply the music for the music round (Round 4). You can source these on Youtube / Spotify. Ensure you cut off with the last line prompt or it may give away the title of the song or some other key piece of information.
You will also have to tailor the questions in Round 3 to your own school’s drama department. You can use mine as a basis.

I created these posters to add a contemporary feel to my studios and classrooms. They give a real boost to creativity and imagination for my students, especially when they are creatively blocked or stuck. These work well in A4 or A3 as posters / visual displays, or I have also used them as handouts for group devising as A4 and A5 sizes, individually laminated or combined to make a booklet.
Included:
1x Illuminating Illustrations - Devising Stimuli Poster
Please note:
This resource is also part of a bundle / collection of all devising posters.

A note from the author:
10 pages of 8 cards each, 80 cards in total. For hot seating rehearsal techniques in classes, and as part of production or exam rehearsals.
There are two options of how to use these cards:
Personally I like to laminate these cards on card (double-sided with the backs) and keep them in bundles 1x Pile of Beginner, 1x Pile of Intermediate, 1x Pile of Advanced. I ensure that I also use the back of the card templates to ensure that the cards work as a whole.
You could print out a complete sheet and give one to each pupil. This way they have almost a scorecard to use when working on this technique, depending on the level that the actor wishes to try at.
Overview of Resource:
30 x Beginner Cards (For use as a good warm up to hot-seating for all level actors, and for KS3 and lower level KS4 / GCSE)
30 x Intermediate Cards (For KS4 / GCSE above, and high level KS3)
20 x Advanced Cards (for KS5 / A Level, and high level KS4 / GCSE)
