Children Playing the Part

This was a remarkable show. The Alphington Grammar School (here their junior school) successfully presented an ambitious children's concert called Cinderella Kids at the Darebin Arts & Entertainment Centre, Preston. A junior school concert is an annual event and is highly popular, especially for the parents of the large cast, all from prep to grade two (plus just one teacher as fairy godmother).

Peter took Abigail to see the production because her mum was ill. It was an eye-opener for him, and thoroughly entertaining. Abigail noted that Cinderella had glasses just like she had. That made Cinderella special for her. They were all children her age and she watched the show intently. The Cinderella character was a class act. She even played 'stage director' at times. Even the 'blups' on stage were taken in her stride as her controled herself and others with stoic resolve. The costumes were of the highest quality. So creative. And could they all sing. There was nothing faint hearted about this concert.
