Preparatory School Production 2026: Looped

Welcome to Looptown, a world where everything runs on points, progress and the promise of more.

The Mayor has a grand vision to build an empire where success is measured, tracked and endlessly chased. But as the citizens of Looptown race to keep up, one voice begins to question it all. Granny Coda senses that something is not quite right, and she might be the only one brave enough to uncover the truth.

Join us for an imaginative adventure that moves through unexpected Glitches, encounters a powerful Firewall, and ventures right to the edge of the world itself. As the system begins to falter, what will it take to break the loop?

This vibrant production brings together 220 Year 7 and 8 students across three nights of collaborative theatre. With a story and script devised by our Preparatory School students, and an original score composed by our Secondary School songwriters, Looptown is a celebration of creativity, teamwork and student voice.

Step into the loop… if you dare.
