Underhill Hall is home to RIC events such as the Great British Economics Olympiad, Renaissance Scholars, performances and art exhibitions. It is also our examinations hall. The copper canopied roof, Overhill transforms into an open-air auditorium with productions from visiting theatre companies and students. Low voltage electrical installation and modern construction techniques combine to give the underground building a minimal carbon footprint.

RIC offers Drama at GCSE and BTEC level and Theatre Studies at A level. London’s West End is only a 40 minute train journey away and students benefit from a stunningly broad range of trips to see a range of plays and performances. Students also have the opportunity to take LAMDA grade exams in Speech and Drama.

The college put on big stage productions regularly at the Chatham Central Theatre such as Bugsy Malone, Little Shop of Horrors, Legally Blonde and Oliver.
