SOME 104 children from three different Border primary schools have collaborated to bring an upcoming "unique and unforgettable" musical and drama production to the stage of the Termon Complex, Pettigo on Wednesday, June 8.
Children from Belleek Primary School, the Gaelscoil Chluainín and St. John the Baptist Primary have been working together in recent months to put together this musical production.
The children have been led by Musical Director, Mrs. Catherine Leonard, and Drama Producer Mrs. Siobhan O’Brien.
In preparation for the show, children have also worked with Choreographer Christopher Cross and Artist Jane Weir.
The shared education project commenced in January with the children and show producers engaging via Microsoft Teams online meetings with each other.
The principal of Belleek Primary School, Mrs. Nicola Young, said: “This has been such great fun. It is lovely to see our children smiling and enjoying the experience.”
Miss Aideén McGarrigle, principal of St. John the Baptist PS, added: “Children and staff are so excited. It is sure to be outstanding entertainment. Be sure to get your tickets now!”
The children will take to the stage on Wednesday, June 8 in the Termon Complex in Pettigo for a double performance, with a matinee show at 1pm and an evening performance at 6.30pm.
Tickets are on sale from any of the schools, or can be purchased online via Paypal.
The money from ticket sales and raffle on the night will be divided between the three schools, Belleek Primary School, the Gaelscoil Chluainín and St. John the Baptist PS.
Mrs. Sinéad Ní Thorsnaigh, principal of Gaelscoil Chluainín, said: “We are extremely appreciative of all the support we will receive in advance. We thank you for supporting our schools and children.”
An evening of great entertainment, music, drama, dance and laughter for all the family with some spot prizes is promised, so get your tickets and don’t miss out on the fun.
