Theatre has always been an integral part of life at Robert College. Through the efforts of student clubs and the support of faculty, productions staged throughout the year bring together students from different grades who share an interest in performance, storytelling, and stagecraft. From musicals to dramatic adaptations, these productions not only showcase artistic talent but also create a collaborative space where students contribute both on stage and behind the scenes. Each year, these performances offer alumni, students, and families the opportunity to come together and spend a few hours immersed in the world of theatre.
In March, RC Theater brought C.S. Lewis novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to life on stage. Enriched by an original soundtrack written by RC Students Deniz Mahmutoğlu RC 28 and Eren Kural RC 27 and under the artistic direction of Zeynep Su Baysal RC 26, audience members were treated to an original take on this classic.
In addition to staging a raucous battle scene featuring 28 students, Director Jake Becker focused on deepening the motivations of Edmund while highlighting the smaller narrative threads of wolves and nymphs.
Senior Lal played a chilling, twisted White Witch and junior Batuhan brought stoicism and warmth to Aslan. The outstanding costumes were designed by junior Defne Su Baysal and her mother Aslı Özer as well as Lise prep Lina Misili.
