The Ilex Theatre Company
The Ilex Theatre Company is Hollyfield School's drama group. The name of the theatre company comes from the Latin word Ilex, meaning holly. The school's ambition for Ilex Theatre is to make it an organisation where young people can be involved in making theatre and learning at the same time. Drama teacher Marianne O'Shea arranges this. Ilex aims to provide an opportunity for all those involved in the annual productions to learn new skills and develop a greater understanding of the commitment and dedication involved with the production of Theatre. Ilex includes actors, front of house staff and behind the scenes workers.

Famous quotes containing the words theatre and/or company:
“I think theatre should always be somewhat suspect.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“Yet, hermit and stoic as he was, he was really fond of sympathy, and threw himself heartily and childlike into the company of young people whom he loved, and whom he delighted to entertain, as he only could, with the varied and endless anecdotes of his experiences by field and river: and he was always ready to lead a huckleberry-party or a search for chestnuts and grapes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
