DISNEY THE LION KING JUNIOR
Hello everyone,
Sorry about being a little behind at the moment. My life took a turn for the busier when asked to help out with the school production at Warrandyte High School (as their show was in danger of not going on… so now VERY busy).
Here is the schedule for the rest of the season.
I can see that next Monday we will need a change as the ACPS Footy boys are in the Regional Grand Finals and will be away all Monday (Just found out yesterday) On top of that - GRADE 5/6 camp also happening next week. So I will make a change for that in the weekend report this weekend.
The other thing that I am considering - is putting one show on a week later. My only reasoning for this is COVID. If anyone in the cast gets COVID and cannot perform in the first week - they will be able to perform a week later. I will send a separate email regarding this - hopefully on the weekend.
Tickets will go on sale soon - so please start making your lists of people to come. I would love to invite local kindergartens to the show and get info out that way. Also - retirement villages.
If anyone is able to assist me in contacting any of these places - that would be greatly appreciated. I sincerely would like to see the children performing to a mostly full theatre as opposed to mostly empty. I think this will be a great show and people will really enjoy it. It is very much a family show.
Take care. Stay Safe.
