Today we were briefed by Hayley from the Children's Theatre company Razamataz. This is a theatre school for people aged 2-18. They get lessons in acting, dance and singing and put together shows for there friends and families to come and watch. This year they have split it into 2 halves which will be made up of one full production which is 'Born in the USA' and the other will be 6 mini musicals. These will be split into different ages.

The senior students will act as the main characters, including Shrek, Donkey and the Narrator of the  entire play will also control a gingerbread puppet. Shrek is played by a 12 year old and Donkey is played by a 14 year old. This first section however, is for the 4-5 year olds so they will fill in all of the other bits and make up the dances and songs.
