A Special thanks to the wonderful staff at Bousfield Primary who have been so generous in terms of giving us rehearsal space and a wonderful venue to perform. In particular Jane Griffiths, Fiona Sinclair and Adam Coston
Kristen Gaetz-Riva has played a pivotal part in shaping this year’s production and her talent and expertise is evident throughout the show from musical direction to teaching a cast with minimal dance experience, really tricky dance routines,encouraging and pushing them to new heights!
