On the 7th February I went to see Into The Woods, produced by Bede’s Academy. It was a piece of musical theatre. There was puppetry, special effects, singing and acting.
I went because I like theatre and I’ve seen the film and wanted to see what the difference was.
The actors were young but very good and I was really impressed with what they could do. I like the costumes they were really funky. They were all really good singers.
I would recommend this event to others because it was done by amateur actors and they put more effort into it. I think it would be an inspiring thing for other people to see. Anyone who puts their mind to something can do it.

Hi Kirsty
Your comment about the actors showing their enthusiasm because they were amateurs has really made me think.
Perhaps so-called amateurs know the value of what they do more than so-called professionals?
And audiences enjoy seeing enthusiasm on the stage, don’t they? I know I do.
Perhaps there is something in here about quality that could be talked about a little more, to help us unpick what you are telling us.
