Junior Theatre Takes The Stage

July 29, 2025

On Saturday, the 26th of July, the Junior division of the Ingham Theatre Group debut in their first matinee. After 10 weeks of work-shopping improvisations, theatre sports, performance technique, stage craft, and most importantly fun and friendship, the Juniors stepped up and performed the wondrous adventure that was 'Princesses of a Feather'.

Together, the cursed princesses-turned-birds, defeated the evil knight Sir Glimmerpants with the help of Charlie Cowgirl Cat In A Cape, while the narrator kept us all engaged with her dramatic reading. After the princesses regained their human-hood, the Macarena was danced in celebration, and awards were handed out to  Cooper, Skylah, Ebony, Mia, Lily, Florence, Audy, Holy-Catherine and Jamie-Lee, the bright young stars.

The Ingham Community Theatre looks to have a shining future with such Juniors talent treading the boards. If you would like your child to grace the spotlights, contact the Ingham Theatre Group secretary and express interest in the September workshops on: secretary@inghamtheatregroup.org.au
