Each year Whitgift puts on two musicals and at least four plays (or evenings of play extracts) which ensure that every single year group has the opportunity to take part in live theatre. These performances are enjoyed by boys and parents alike and have attracted considerable critical acclaim. Recent productions include: 'The Caretaker', 'Uncle Vanya', 'Grease', 'Cabaret' and 'Oh What A Lovely War!'

This exceptional co-curricular achievement, backed up by a buoyant academic department, ensures that Whitgift drama takes a 'leading role' in the overall life of the School.
