Actors from the Pantomime Company delivered an awe-inspiring performance of ' Skoolaz 3.0', which left the audience on the edge of their seats at Tuesday's Peace Day concert at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre in St Andrew.

Anya Gloudon, producer of the play, said the production was never directly conceptualised towards Peace Day; however, upon realising the messages were aligned with the event, they had to share their masterpiece which served as an inspiration.

"It was a fabulous [experience] and [I'm] always glad to support the cause, peace and love in society is very much needed," Gloudon shared with THE STAR.

Skoolaz 3.0 wasn't initially crafted for Peace Day, its powerful messages about unity and harmony resonated perfectly with the event's theme.

"Because wi have a song in the show called 'Bangarang' which is literally nuff noise, confusion and contention, it seemed fitting that we'd say 'we don't want no more bangarang we want peace and unity'. This particular production, ' Skoolaz 3.0' is played by students [performers] and we thought it was fitting for a concert which is generally centred around the student community," Gloudon stated.

Peace Day is celebrated on the first Tuesday of March each year. The theme for this year's staging was 'Let Peace Run Things!'. Unlike in former years when the concert was held at various schools, Tuesday's event attracted many participating schools to the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre. Gloudon said that having more students out was a great way for the message garnered from the production and the concert to be shared further to outside the school communities.

"It helps because they're here enjoying a concert and all the messages are positive and uplifting, and hopefully it will store something in them for them to consider what's happening," she said.

Pantomime, which opened on Boxing Day, December 26, will be back at The Little Theatre on March 16 and 17, after which shows will be open until May.
