We firmly believe that children are capable of telling wonderful stories in a creative and dynamic manner. Our musicals are full of drama, humour, emotion, tension and pathos, all wrapped up in an hour long piece of theatre. We keep the staging simple, aware of the financial, spatial and logistical restrictions under which schools have to operate. Rehearsals are made easier by the thoughtful composition of the scenes and the division of the cast into groups. We also provide a wealth of material to help both director and actors, including character profiles, scene summaries, audition suggestions, characters in each scene, costumes and make-up guidance, props list, song notes and a glossary of unusual/challenging terms within the script. In many schools, performing an Out of the Ark nativity play has become a festive tradition. Our nativity plays and musicals for children have simple, often humorous scripts with adaptable parts to suit small or larger casts. All of the songs in our Christmas productions help to capture the magic of this special time of year. With nearly 60 nativity and Christmas musicals in our catalogue, there is sure to be one to suit your school to help you celebrate what is the most wonderful time of the year for children. All children in the Early Years were simply amazing; all practitioners and teachers are super proud of their efforts, and it was a magical experience that we were so pleased to show off to parents and family members. Miss Kingston says a massive thank you to each and every child. The Stable Stompers’ can’t wait to play their big concert in the stable in Bethlehem. They have been practising hard for weeks and are hoping for a big audience that night. But then some angels arrive talking of a young couple – Mary and Joseph – who are expected shortly, not to mention some local shepherds and three travelling kings. Suddenly, the stable animals have other things on their mind than their concert, especially with the arrival of baby Jesus. Mrs Hooper, along with an all-girl cast of Reception children, helped to narrate the story of the first Christmas. To bring the story to life further, Mary and Joseph were led to Bethlehem by a real-life donkey (well, actually a pony, but dressed up as a donkey!) This made the Nativity even more magical.Honky Tonky Donkey' is a heart-warming primary school nativity from Niki Davies , with a simple yet captivating script and delightful songs.

There are a few arguments about who is going to play which instrument, but then the rehearsal begins in earnest (ANIMAL BAND).
