Belvedere has a strong reputation for drama. There is an ambitious and varied annual season of productions, giving scope to very large numbers of pupils to become involved in the theatrical life of the school. The flourishing drama scene in the college has inspired many pupils to make a career in the world of theatre and film as actors and directors.
Four productions are staged in a typical year. As well as acting in the productions, boys build and paint the sets, provide lighting, projections and sound, collect and manage props, play in the orchestra and run the stage and front-of-house management, under the guidance of members of staff.
