A Stage for Young Talent

Initiated in 1981, the Inter-School English Drama Contest was created to provide students from leading schools in Colombo and the outstations a platform to express Buddhist values through the dramatic arts.

This competition encourages students to explore Jataka stories, historical Buddhist events, and moral themes, translating them into compelling theatrical performances. It fosters creativity, teamwork, and fluency in the English language while instilling a deep appreciation for Buddhist culture.
