On 10 August 2024, UCSI's English Language Student Association hosted the "Drama On The Spot" event. It combined a workshop with a competition and attracted over 45 participants from 10 schools across the Klang Valley.

The workshop was led by Theatresauce, a prominent theatre collective based in Kuala Lumpur. Participants experienced a dynamic learning environment, where they were taught to use their bodies and voices to express a range of emotions and portray different types of characters.

Following the workshop, a competition was held, judged by a panel of 10 experienced judges. The students worked in groups of three to five to develop a 10-minute performance piece. These performances were inspired by seven images created during the workshop and required the inclusion of at least 8 out of 12 specified components.

The competition concluded with Stella Maris International School Damansara taking first place. Future Academy secured second place, while SMK Taman Connaught came in third. Special awards were given to Suah Jake Wee from Future Academy, who was named Best Actor, and Wong Ji Lum from Stella Maris International School Damansara, who was awarded Best Actress.
