THE WIZARD OF OZ july 2019
“We all know what happened when Dorothy and her faithful dog Toto were whisked away by a tornado and ended up in Oz—talking scarecrow, rusty tin man, cowardly lion, and of course: a wicked witch—but do you know what happened next? And after that? And after that?”
Well, you had better pay attention because their armies are gathering to take the throne and declare them the true Wizard of Oz! The only hope of avoiding complete disaster lies with Dorothy and Toto who have returned to protect the weird and wonderful Oz from war…”

Robin Hood may 2019
“The year is eleven-hundred-and-something. Richard the Lionheart, King of England, is missing and his cruel brother is ruling the land. In Nottingham the mysterious Robin Hood has been fighting back- stealing from the rich and giving to the poor- but word has it that he has been arrested and will be executed.”
Twenty-three children took to the stage in this funny and hilarious adaption of Robin Hood by Ed Hartland. Our students are growing in confidence and raising the bar with their incredible acting and characterisation! Audiences came from all over the land to gather in the wonderful Exchange auditorium and at the end a rapturous applause and hugs galore for this fantastic troupe of actors!
