On Friday, some of the cast of Wizard of Oz attended the Grand opening of Starbucks. The children enjoyed performing some of our songs from our production. The children showed so much courage whilst performing and even when the technology started playing up, they sang their hearts out and sounded absolutely beautiful! I couldn’t have been more proud! The children were lucky to then receive a free drink of their choice and a snack! What a lovely experience for our children!
On Friday 11th July, XP Doncaster will be transformed into a creative hub of performance, exhibition, and celebration – and we can’t wait to welcome you!
