YEAR 10 THEATRE IN EDUCATION<br />
PRIMARY TOURING SHOW<br />
‘BRIAN THE CHRISTMAS TREE’<br />
CHRISTMAS MAGIC<br />
The Year 10 <strong>Coombeshead</strong> <strong>Academy</strong><br />
Theatre in Education company toured<br />
around local primary schools with the<br />
production of ‘Brian the Christmas Tree’<br />
towards the end of last term.<br />
They visited Ipplepen, Abbotskerswell,<br />
Denbury, All Saint’s Marsh, St Michaels, St<br />
Josephs, Bovey Tracey and Canada Hill<br />
primary schools between the 8th to 13th<br />
December.<br />
This year’s Christmas show was based<br />
around a group of Christmas trees all eager<br />
to be chosen for Christmas, apart from Brian<br />
who really does not want to be a Christmas<br />
tree at all! The play witnesses the Christmas<br />
trees trying to encourage Brian that being<br />
a Christmas tree is the best vocation in the<br />
world. The piece included lots of music,<br />
movement and encouraged plenty of<br />
audience participation. Three students from<br />
each school joined us on stage for energetic<br />
renditions of the Macarena for each<br />
performance.<br />
The students produced an excellent<br />
performance containing much humour<br />
which was received with great enthusiasm<br />
from their audiences.<br />
A huge well done to all those involved!<br />
