“The theme of the production was a very popular choice with the kids,” director Helen Janke said.

“Ninety-six students auditioned for the production, so it was a big effort to cast all the roles.”

The show, featuring vibrant costumes sourced from Bendigo Theatre Company and props crafted by the students themselves, will run for three nights at Riverlinks Westside in Mooroopna from August 21 to August 23.

The production promises to transport audiences to the magical world of Agrabah with its colourful costumes and captivating choreography.
