Congratulations Marley!

Marley, a year 5 student, participated in this year's Dream Big Festival

Across the first week of the DreamBig Children's Festival, Marley got to experience what it is like to be an actor, participating in 10 performances of a show called The Narrator. The venue for the show was on a bus as it drove through the streets of Adelaide.

The Narrator boards the bus and tells the audience a story of a boy and a girl who used to be friends. Outside the bus, the story of the boy and the girl is played out for the audience to see. Marley played the younger version of the girl, when the boy and the girl were still friends. 

Marley learned a lot about what it takes to put on a show, from working with the director who was telling her how to act and move, learning about all of the things a stage manager is responsible for (it's a lot!), and hearing from professional actors about their experiences performing in theatre. She especially enjoyed getting to work next to her friend and loved seeing the enjoyment on the audiences faces at the end of each show.
