I understand this is a 'first' production for this company and I applaude them for their effort., There was some real aspiring talent on the stage and the kids were having lots of fun. They seem to be quite well rehearsed except for a few 'stage bumps', which is understandable with that many kids on stage. It was unfortunated that the actors weren't miked as it was difficult to hear many times. The audience, being full of children, was not the quietest which also made it more difficult to hear. I think that when kids can't hear the dialogue they are more inclined to start making noice themselves, which of course increases the problem.
All in all, good effort by everyone
