REPORT BY BERNADETTE GAMBRILL
The Stage called the local Community together on
the 20th of September for the PCYC Theatre Sports with Janine,
Sophie and Manik. The event began with Janine and her Senior assistants Gemma
and Emma from Drama Karma. Children used their imagination to create scenarios
for the Seniors to recreate. Scenes included blindfolded leg operations and
superheroes catching robbers… with a twist. The event continued with Sophie and
Manik. Introductions of the group by name and crazy poses were had. Well known
stories such as Cinderella and the Three Little pigs took on a new genre such
as Action or Romantic as imagination brought the stories to life on stage. Known
characters such as the Queen had substituted hands. Sophie and Manik split the
group into teams of 8 with wacky judges Mr Margarine, Goldilocks and Bob. The
competitive final event was won by 1 point but everyone walked home with a gold
medal. They were all winners simply for participating. Cakes, rolls and slices
were available from Busy Baking at the event. Shelly was busy with the art
table as kids reshaped the pieces of clay to their imagination, creating things
like echidnas using wooden sticks with it. Colourful Craft and card making was
also available! Overall the event was fun and energetic.
