3 Thank you... Wow! What an amazing school community we have here at Irymple South Primary school. It is such a privilege to work here and teach your brilliant children. Your support with our concert program is humbling, thank you, for all you have done to make this year s concert a success. A special mention to the following people: Karen Willcock, for her amazing talent in writing, directing and choreographing our whole performance. Plus her huge contribution to our costumes and coordinating the audio/visual control desk. Robyn Brooks for allowing such a worthwhile program to run at our school. Greg Willcock, for his clever engineering of the props including the big books and gorgeous bookworm. Also his expertise with the Arts Centre curtains, microphones and hanging backdrops. The amazing costume coordinators, your help was invaluable. Thank you to Veronica Malia, Peta Campbell, Nichole Bate, Megan Endrizzi, Nerrissa Cupper, Elise Thornton, Narelle Bruhn, Sherrie Geister, Peta Campbell, Leanne Peters, Natasha Lyttleton, Cathy Wilkie, Libby Kennedy, Adele Kempton, Natalee Johnson, Amanda Boulton, Steph Flentjar, Toba Vecchiet, Christa Sheehan, Nat Shirnack, Lea Andronescu, Carmel Tabacco, LeAnne Burford, Connie Aldamiz, Linda Garraway, Sarah Watts, Michelle Stanbrook, Jacey Pisconeri. These mums have donated their time to sort, make, purchase and coordinate over 600 costumes between them which has been a colossal effort. Karen Shore for all the long hours she put into researching the main character costumes, organising their purchase or getting them made. Kerrie Shaw for sewing costumes. Toni Douglas for designing the front cover of the program and Emma Lord for taking photos and creating the program. All the parents who helped organise the costumes during dress rehearsals and performance nights. All the teachers that helped with the transport of costumes, patience during the many rehearsals and for your hard work back stage for all the performances. Every single student for their commitment, perseverance and passion. Watching our students grow in confidence and excitement as they rehearsed and performed was most rewarding. I am proud of the eagerness of our students and school community in coming together for this production. I will be forever richer from being a part of this experience and I hope you are too. All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That s what makes theatre alive.
