A busy week at April Lodge, full of singing and the theatre 'dahlings'! Jess and Nat were involved in the Corfe Hills production of Sweet Charity at the Lighthouse in Poole. Nat was part of the stage (no one appreciates how hard we work) crew and Jess played the role of Ursula a highly strung Italian starlet who stomped and screamed a great deal.... (type casting I hear you say...). The show was wonderful full of life and energy, songs you all will remember such as Big Spender and the Rhythm of Life got everyone tapping their feet. We went to see it twice but missed the last night and seeing Jess burst into tears on stage because it is her last show at the school and she has loved being part of it all so much.

On Saturday Amelia took part in a cabaret evening with her musical theatre class, there were songs from Mamma Mia and Oliver and Polar Express. Best of all was the duet Amelia did with her friend Harriet, a song from High School Musical. They were both superb and made us all very very proud.
So a little quieter now before the Christmas rush....well I can hope!
