Yo Ho Ho
Week 1 7 - 11 Year Olds
2nd - 6th August

The sleepy village of Merrywood is awoken one early summer morning to the “Yarrgghh” of the rowdy pirates, who have dropped anchor in the village
pond!

The villagers are most distressed because in a weeks time the judges from the “Britain Is Smashing” competition will be arriving in Merrywood. Can Merrywood retain its title of the loveliest village in England? Only if the villagers can
persuade the pirates to swap marauding for flower arranging, looting for cake decoration and splicin’ the mainbrace for cricket on the village green. Will Captain Gingerbeard ruin Merrywood's chances in the competition or can the pirates teach the villagers a thing or two about enjoying themselves?

You'll have to act sing and 'yarrgghh' as if your life depends on it!!



AWOL
Week 2 11-16 YEAR OLDS
9 - 13 August 2010

Anna Bandana is a child superstar who has everything that a young girl could dream of. Fans,
bodyguards and a crazy stalker who collects her breath in Evian bottles. Anna Bandana is the most famous face on the planet but she is getting sick of it so Anna goes absent without leave (AWOL).


Taking matters into her own hands Anna disguises herself as a young girl named Molly Nobody.
She gives her celebrity world the slip and goes to stay with her pen pal Maud in a little town called Dullsville. Looking to get away from her extreme lifestyle, Anna soon finds out, that the only thing that are extreme in Dullsville are the rules handed out by evil slimeball Pat Testing and his Safety Squad. Will the people of Dullsville uncover the truth about the new arrival to their town? Will the police be able to track Anna down? And will we find out what the deal is with rubber gloves in Dullsville?

You'll have to act sing and dance as if your life depends on it...because it does.
