Dress rehearsal time. Shane and Charlotte (Ben White and Alex Robbie) get in trouble with their strict teacher Miss Scow (Emily Julian). |
Miss Scow believes in generosity. She also likes the look of the Bandit Chief (Jack Du Toit)! |
|
|
The town hires a gunfighter to sort out their troubles. The Drongo Kid (Cody Baker Bragg) was cheap to hire, but he had his faults! Here he is singing his life story. |
The Drongo Kid is making Gunk (Jadyn Wilkinson) drink the antidote to cure the Stinkers. |
|
|
Our visitors from Wellington School in Singapore watched the rehearsal, plus the kapa haka and flutes. Then they performed a dance for us. |
Now we're at the Theatre. Everyone gets their make up on. Jadyn plays Gunk, leader of the Stinkers. She needs lots of make up. |
|
|
Everyone gets their costumes ready. Here's Mrs Cronin helping Sarah be a school child. Hang on, she's already a school child! |
George Hannah is our wonderful pianist in the orchestra pit, along with Kate Robbie on clarinet, Dave Smith on bass and Barrie Hawkes on guitar, plus seven wonderful percussionists, led by Alex Coventry and Tawari Stanley. |

After the kapa haka (check them out here), and some items from the flutes, we're into the show. The Mayor (Matthew Webb) and Sheriff (Finn Spod) discuss their problems. |
Miss Scow (Emily Julian) tries to get some discipline into her pupils. |
|
|
Felicity (Felicity Klein Ovink), the sheriff and Wild Bill Hiccup (Michael Jones) talk about the drought and the bandits. |

|
|
Her daughter Alice (Luella Howe) sells bottles of potion. |
The gunfighter Drongo Kid (Cody Baker Bragg) arrives to help the town. |
|
|
The Bandit Chief (Jack Du Toit) leads his gang well. In fact the School teacher quite likes him! |
Miss Scow lets her hair down when she thinks no-one is around. |
|
|
The Drongo Kid terrifies everybody. When will his gun go off? When will the sound effects go off? |
Alice rescues Charlotte (Alex Robbie) and Shane (Ben White). They get chased by the bandits but they make it back to Little River. |
