Joint production conjures up magical performance
Not a seat spare in the Prospect Theatre on a magical Friday night, as the packed house were treated to a joyous celebration of wizardry conjured up by the students from Henry Tyndale School. Supported by College students who have been working in partnership with the Coppers sixth form unit at Henry Tyndale this year, the youngsters - linked arm in arm - danced and sang their way down the famous yellow brick road to the Emerald City. This was an entrancing show, holding the delighted audience spellbound as Dorothy and her three companions led us bravely through the terrors of Oz.
This was an evening of wonderful determination and courage, celebrating the talent of an energetic and big hearted cast. The colourful production of The Wizard of Oz, marking the seventh year of close cooperation between the College and the School, was by far the most ambitious to date. Afterwards, Simon Jarvis, Principal Designate, and Rob Thompson, Head Teacher at Henry Tyndale School, thanked the many students and staff who had worked so hard on putting the show together.
Rob Thompson said, “In the year ahead, we look forward to continuing the close working relationship with the College which has been enjoyed by the neighbouring organisations for so many years.”
