"The
Greatest Show on Earth"
2003 Show
Sunday, September 7th at Centrestage
Theatre, Orewa.
This year the annual show was performed
at Centrestage Theatre. This performance gave our students an opportunity
to learn choreography, rehearse with other dancers till a high standard
is attained and then perform on stage in costume. It was an exciting and
rewarding experience for everyone. Both shows were completely sold out
and members of the audience reported the show was highly entertaining
and very professional.
"The Greatest Show on Earth"
- The Story
A group of children and adults go on
an outing to see a circus show. The children are welcomed by some balloon
sellers and the Ringmaster. The circus starts with a grand parade and
all goes well until the acrobat dance. Three of the acrobats would rather
play the part of clowns and they purposely ruin the acrobat dance. Next,
three clowns would rather be acrobats so they purposely ruin the clown
dance. The Ringmaster is furious. In the dressing room he reprimands the
performers. The show continues but the Ringmaster decides that rather
than risk the show being ruined again he will compromise and allow the
clowns and acrobats to swap parts. He visits them in the dressing room
and gives his decision. The dancers swap costumes and go on to perform
confidently and happily in the role they really wanted in the first place.
The circus is a huge success and
everyone celebrates.
