Word on the street is that Happy has a new microphone and wants to sing for all to hear, on the other hand, Betty wants to try her hand at sewing some super costumes! Roly wants to indulge in his sweet tooth and make some sugary jelly, whilst Tag wants to make music…or you can always throw on your dancing shoes and dance the night away with Norrie!

From as early as I can recall, writing has always been my passion. Being able to combine this with my love for theatre has been a rewarding and exhilarating experience. I truly believe that there is magic in seeing a story brought to life on stage, and this is what I would like to promote to audiences.
