Hoodwinked - The Summer Show

This year's  summer production is well underway. After lasts weeks auditions the parts have been decided and scripts given out today.
The story of "Hoodwinked" is based upon the imfamous hero Robin Hood. With an allstar cast including the Sherrif of Nottingham, Maid Marrian, Richard the lion heart, Little John, Will Scarlet and ... Geoff the Archer!

The children and staff are very excited by this production, and would welcome any support from parents or friends of the school. You can support the children with learning their lines, donate or create costumes, and come an watch the performances which we are sure will be packed as usual!

Those children  in KS2 who have lines have now been given parts of the script that they will need to learn so this is a very important part of the success of the show. Please support your children to learn their lines as quickly as is possible so that they feel totally comfortable on stage (it can be scary). Half term is the ideal time for this is they have a spare moment.

KS1 children will be involved in the choral singing and actions, whilst KS2 will take the main characters and acting roles. This is to balance the nativity play, in which KS1 have a starring role.

Rehearsals will start in ernest after half term, these will be mainly within school hours, but those with the largest parts may need some extra support after school, but we will arrange this around other committments.

The play is very funny with some lovely songs and great characters! It should be a great expereince for the children and hopefully the audience!!

If you have any questions feel free to talk to Mr Arnold or Mrs Leadbeater, we will be happy to answer any queries.
