A unique program where the students are the performers!
An incredibly powerful & moving program that touches hearts and inspires unity.
PROGRAM DETAILS
PLOT:
The Magic Circle is about a migrant kid called Arley who is struggling to navigate her way through Australian culture.
When Arley has a dream she imagines herself in the Magic Circle, a place in the Australian Bush where she meets a cast of colorful characters. Guided by new found mates and their hilarious anecdotes, Arley begins to make sense of her new life by harnessing her inner strength, finding hope & courage, and learning to cope with change.
The Magic Circle explores Australia's culture, rich migrant history and reveals universal similarities between people, regardless of outward appearances.
The Magic Circle is packed full of humour, frivolity, emotional moments, award-winning songs and life lessons that will generate discussion and be remembered long after the curtain falls.
