JUNIOR SCHOOL DRAMA
Posted CGGS Newsletter No 21 -1 August 2008
CGGS students astonish at their versatility!
Everybody loves fairy stories especially when traditional stories of The Three Little Pigs, Red Riding Hood and Peter and the Wolf are combined into a comedy of errors titled Wolf, Wolf and Wolf. The cast of young actors, many who had never been on the stage before, gave a spirited performance showing great comic timing, astute characterisation and abundant energy.
A very supportive audience was treated to a double bill as 12 wonderful young Musical Theatre performers acted, danced and sang their way through songs from Peter Pan and Wizard of Oz in a workshop titled Magical Mysteries. Being able to memorize songs, dialogue and dance routines in only four days, and then perform them with such enjoyment, energy and style is a credit to these young students and a true reflection of the abundant talent at CGGS.
