The play

Nine-year-old Becky is suffering from “an acute case of I-don’t-knowsies, with a touch of Don’t-ask-me-seys, complicated by I-don’t-think-I-can-do-it-itis”. The Professor (a cat) and two other madly peculiar creatures put her through a series of magical adventures, by the end of which she has, of course, been cured of all three ailments.

Call for musicians

This play includes several songs for which the script provides just the basic melodies and Megan will orchestrate them to utilise the instruments available.

So if you play guitar, percussion, flute, violin, clarinet – maybe even piano – and you’re available for rehearsals from the middle of January, and then the technical and dress rehearsals and performances as outlined above, contact us at katmembership@gmail.com, giving your phone number and the instrument/s you play. Then Megan will ring you to arrange an audition time with you.
