Hooked On Peter Pan

Presented by: Reddam House.

Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish playwright J.M. Barrie About mischievous little boy who can fly and magically refuses to grow up. Although the play was written in 1904, there have been many subsequent adaptions. Peter Pan and Wendy, Peter and Wendy, The Terrible Tragedy of Peter Pan, Hook, Neverland, Tinkerbell and Lost Treasure are just some of the titles of stage plays, movies and films about Peter Pan.

Reddam House proudly presents a completely new version, Hooked on Peter Pan, which features wonderful music from eras spanning from the 1950's to the present time.

Our children are growing up so quickly, especially our year 6 students who stand on the brink of a new stage in their lives; yet it seems that there is a part of Peter Pan in them all. it is wonderful to see them still immersed in a tale of magic and wonder, of song and dance, of talking elves and flying children.

This musical showcases the talents of our amazing Reddam Primary School students and we hope you enjoy every moment of our production as much as we have all enjoyed creating it.

PERFORMANCE DATE:
Mon 13 & Tue 14 Sep - Parade Theatre, Sydney

Let Me Entertain You

Presented by: Dance Kinetic School of Performing Arts

Dance is a sign of life pressing itself out through the body; it stirs us with its energy, and satisfies us with harmony. It demonstrates emotions that cannot be translated into words. Kinetic is due to motion.

It symbolizes energy and life. It is a science of the relations between the motion of bodies and the force acting on them. When you combine Dance and Kinetic, you create a force of energy that exceeds all boundaries and it was with this that Dance Kinetic School of Performing Arts was born.

The Showcase is a biennial production presented to demonstrate the performance skills of our students exhibiting students from 2 - 20 years of age.

The theme and our students' invitation to you all; 'LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU'.

Parade Theatre, 6:00pm, Friday 24th September
