Singapore Polytechnic officially launched the brand new School of Communication, Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) with an evening with drama and charity on 23 April 2008.
CASS is the first in Asia to offer applied drama as a course of study. It introduced the full-time Applied Drama and Psychology (DADP) diploma course this year. The school also offers the Media and Communication (DMC) full-time diploma course.
To celebrate the launch of the new school, a group of Drama Appreciation students took to the stage with literary master J B Priestley's suicide mystery "An Inspector Calls". The story revolves around the Rai family and the unfolding revelations following a police inspector's incessant interrogation into a suicide case.
Almost 400 guests turned up at Jubilee Hall to take in the students' first public appearance, including President S R Nathan as the Guest-of-Honour.
The proceeds of the play, together with the donations collected by 4,800 SP students during the recent SP Flag Day, raised $170,000 for the annual President's Challenge. President Nathan accepted the cheque on behalf of the beneficiaries last evening. He also received a graffiti art drawing by CASS students as a token of appreciation for gracing the event.
I was involved as the sound designer for this play.
