Trophy Time!!

It was absolutely wonderful to hand out trophies to so many deserving students!

Some action shots from our wonderful performances on Saturday 26 November...








Audiences really enjoyed the different plays they watched last Saturday...from The Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe to mean pirates, then off to the Circus and a trip to Egypt! The plays were colourful, fun and enjoyed by all ages!!

Our Annlin Studio Group shots at Centurion Theatre



For many of our Annlin students this was their first time on Stage and they were brilliant! Thank you also to all the parents for their help with the magnificient costumes :-)

Our Awards Ceremony was phenominal and we were blown away by the awesome 'Oscar' speeches!

Once a student has completed 100 lessons - they are awarded with their very own trophy!! And of course in true Helen O Grady style we ask each student to present us with their Oscar Speech!
