The story begins when the passengers board the grand ship, the RMS Titanic, for
its first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Everyone is full of excitement and pride
to be part of the “unsinkable” ship. The atmosphere is joyful, with music, dancing,
and laughter filling the stage. Among the passengers are Jack, a young man from
the lower class, and Rose, a woman from the upper class. They meet by chance
on the ship and, despite their differences, form a strong connection.
Conflict:
As the journey continues, the ship sails smoothly through the ocean, but tension
begins to build. The crew receives warnings about icebergs, yet the ship keeps
moving at full speed. Late at night, tragedy strikes — the Titanic hits a giant

moments. This technique makes each scene clear and helps the audience follow

The performance was truly impressive, especially because it was done entirely by
high school students. Every part, including dialogue, music, costumes,
backgrounds, and props, was carefully prepared and well thought out. Students
spoke clearly and with emotion, while the music added energy and supported the
story. Costumes showed differences between social classes and reflected early
1900s fashion, and props and backgrounds made the Titanic feel real.

The teamwork and coordination of the cast were excellent, showing that everyone
understood their role and worked hard together. The performance was both
entertaining and informative, giving the audience a clear picture of life on the
Titanic. Overall, it was a polished and engaging show that showed the students’
talent, creativity, and dedication.

So, that’s the end of the presentation. Thank you so much for listening, and i hope
you enjoyed it as much as i did presenting it.
