This perfomiance was selected lo go to London to perform on the National Theatre's Dorfman stage! As a result our cast and crew travelled to London and perfomied there. We also worked in partnership with DD8 Studios to run 4 band nights for young perfomiers. These were successful, but sadly workers just haven't the lime to organise any more. Our JunDrs performed the rnusical Alice in Dreamland, written by our very own . The ￿d$ did a fantastic job of the show. We secured some fvnding from Awards for ￿1 to allow us to develop an original musical and the senior and senior Flus gn)ups are hard at w developing this now. However, funding proved quite hard to secure thi5 year, and as a resu we had to eat into our reserves a liwe to continue lo employ our worker.
