Ramagya School Brings Literary Classics to Life Through Three Powerful Stage Performances

Ramagya School recently showcased the power of storytelling, creativity, and experiential learning through a series of three captivating theatrical productions based on timeless literary classics—The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Matilda, and Alice in Wonderland. Performed by students, the plays highlighted not only exceptional stagecraft but also the school’s commitment to holistic education through the arts.

The stage adaptation of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, based on Mark Twain’s beloved novel, transported audiences to the lively world of a mischievous young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. Through Tom’s adventures with his best friend Huckleberry Finn, the performance beautifully captured themes of childhood innocence, friendship, courage, and moral growth, resonating strongly with viewers of all ages.

The second production, Matilda, adapted from Roald Dahl’s iconic story, celebrated intelligence, resilience, and kindness. The play followed the journey of a gifted young girl who, despite neglect from her parents and intimidation at school, remains confident and compassionate. The students brought to life Matilda’s courage as she stood up against injustice, discovered her special powers, and helped her teacher Miss Honey reclaim happiness—sending a powerful message about standing up for what is right.

The theatrical series concluded with Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll’s enchanting fantasy. The performance took the audience on a whimsical journey through a magical world filled with eccentric characters such as the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts. With imaginative sets, vibrant costumes, and expressive performances, the play highlighted curiosity, imagination, and the joy of embracing the unexpected.

Adding a distinctive and intellectually engaging dimension to the series was Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest – A Trivial Comedy for Serious People. Set in the Victorian world where social manners mattered more than truth, identities were delightfully negotiable, and honesty was hilariously complicated, the play showcased sharp wit, satire, and refined humour. Through clever dialogues and polished performances, students brought alive Wilde’s critique of societal norms, marriage, and morality—demonstrating remarkable understanding, timing, and theatrical maturity.

Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Utkarsh Gupta, Managing Director, Ramagya Group, said,“At Ramagya, we strongly believe that education goes beyond textbooks. Theatre plays a vital role in nurturing creativity, confidence, communication skills, and emotional intelligence among students. Through these classic stories, our children not only explored literature but also imbibed values such as courage, empathy, imagination, and integrity. It is inspiring to see our students bring such meaningful narratives to life on stage.”

The performances were met with enthusiastic applause from parents, teachers, and guests, reinforcing Ramagya School’s focus on blending academics with arts, culture, and values-based learning. By reimagining literary masterpieces through theatre, the school continues to create enriching platforms that encourage students to express themselves, think critically, and grow into well-rounded individuals.
