KWS Year 5-6 students present the children’s musical
‘Giants in the Sky’
Music & Lyrics by Denver Casado
Books & Lyrics by Kerry Kazmierowicztrimm
Show time – approx. 55mins
This magical story explores the world of Giants who live above the clouds. Ever since they left earth a long time ago, the Giants have made their life ‘up above’, where their job is to make the sky beautiful. They polish the stars, poke the clouds to let it rain and paint the sunsets. But there is one curious Giant who wonders what life is like on Earth, so she steals a key to the locked-up beanstalk and embarks on an adventure ‘down below’.
KWS Year 3-4 students present
‘Storyville’
by Lorraine Thompson
When given an opportunity most people will jump at the chance to tell a story. The characters in this one-act play are not different. You see, everyone in Storyville has a tale to tell. The problem is, they all want to talk at the same time.
Show time – approx. 40mins
