With pride and emotion, we share with you a milestone in our school life: the English Theatre Club of our school took to the stage of the Multifunctional Cultural Centre “Mikis Theodorakis” — Anna Synodinou Theatre, as part of the 2nd Student Theatre Festival of the Municipality of Ilion, on Saturday, 6 June 2026 at 7:00 PM.
A performance born in the classroom, nurtured with love, and lifted into the spotlight.
The theatrical production “When Yannis Met Willie” is the fruit of months of collective work, creative imagination, and genuine collaboration. The Club’s students gave their very best — under the lights, on the stage, and throughout each of the 2 rehearsals that preceded it. The result was a performance that truly impressed the audience!
