Perform-A-Play Programme
with a Stage Show
School Grade 2 - 12
MUMBAI IN-PERSON CLASS
Perform-A-Play Programme
A programme that combines participating in a theatre show (NCPA) along with community-driven environmental action (Beach Warriors).
The Perform-A-Play Programme is a holistic and immersive theatre education programme designed to develop a solid foundation in the fundamentals of stage performance. Through a progressive curriculum, students will engage in audition/interview techniques, character analysis, subtext interpretation, improvisation, performance techniques and ensemble-based play work.
Under the guidance of a theatre educator, participants will apply their skills within a professional auditorium setting staged at NCPA.
Along with this, towards the script the students will also undertake a real beach cleanup with Beach Warriors — carrying the story off the stage and turning awareness of ocean pollution into action. Limited student intake — each grade brings a themed script to life- Neelu the Whale, 99 Whales and Just a Drop in the Ocean, building over three months to a live performance at NCPA.
Dual certification from J’s Academy and Beach Warriors — counts toward CAS points for IB students and strengthens university applications and resumes. A platform to raise audience awareness of climate change, and a chance for every student to become a global citizen through theatre.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How involved do parents need to be?​
Parents play an important supportive role. We encourage you to stay informed by checking your emails for notices from the Academy, ensure regular attendance and help the student practice at home when needed. However, all teaching and learning take place in class under the facilitator’s expertise.
-
How can I track my child’s progress?
Student progress is shared through scheduled feedback reports and Parent-Teacher meetings. You can also contact us via email to arrange a call with the facilitator. However, it takes time to see tangible progress and we request you to be patient with the process and the child.
-
Do certification exams at this age put pressure on students?
The exams are an important part of the learning process, designed to strengthen understanding and build confidence. While the word ‘exam’ can sound stressful, performance-based, group assessments conducted in a fun, supportive and pressure-free environment. The experience of working towards a goal solidifies their learning, instilling a sense of achievement.
