The Beacon – Bowling Park

Wonky Olympics

SD Theatre

Two clueless PE teachers gave traditional sports day a hilarious makeover.

Not sure about PE class? Don’t worry, SD Theatre reimagined it with a twist that had us laughing, leaping, and joining in without a second thought!

Armed with cones, hula hoops, and their trusty megaphone, they led the silliest sports session you’ve ever seen. Dressed head to toe in retro PE kits and determined to get you moving, these teachers didn’t care if you’d forgot your trainers—and no, they wouldn’t accept notes from your parents!
There was a chaotic warm-up followed by delightfully daft events like:
  • Chopstick Javelin
  • Sock Shotput
  • 30-yard Scream
  • Paper Aeroplane Launch
  • Hula-Poola Hula-hoops
  • Wonky Obstacle Course
