Rehearsals are well underway for our situational theatre project. While the leads were rehearsing one of the show songs on the weekend with our Musical Director, we had the opportunity to talk with one of the residents on why he enjoys being a part of the production. He said he always involves himself in projects if he thinks he can be of use and purpose. “You never know what something is going to be like unless you give it a go.” We couldn’t agree more. We would also like to thank Bunnings Halls Head and
Timber’s Edge Men’s Shed for coming on board to assist our Mercy Place Residents in designing and construction of the set.

This month the lovely folks at Mercy Place Mandurah also assisted us in creating canes for one of our dance numbers. Not only were the participants thoroughly engaged with preparing the props for the show, but they actually surprised themselves by how well they turned out! Lesson learned? Never underestimate the power of purposeful activity. After all, what is a show without a good chorus tap number with hats and canes?
