Years 8 – 10 End of Year Dramatic Production

This play was the wild card among a handful of scripts I shared with Year 8-9 in Term 2. Their first reading was ridiculously funny and marked the beginning of quite a journey…not dissimilar to trying to find the Wizard without the yellow brick road! Like Dorothy, we have picked up a few characters along the way – year 10 joined us at the beginning of Term 4 to step into some key roles, and Sage parachuted in on Monday to step into the role of the Lion….talk about courage!

Our rehearsals have been a bit bonkers at times, but we’ve ended up with a cast that seems uncannily suited to their roles, and the play really does suit this cohort down to the ground – it’s funny and it pushes the boundaries, but ultimately, it has a huge heart and speaks to the deeply personal journeys we all take as we navigate our own ups and downs.

Here’s to heart, courage, and imagination!
