The Hunchback of Notre Dame!
Alpha's brand new pantomime of 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' has now wrapped up on October 15 after a fantastic season! We were amazed with the responses...far better than expected for this lesser known story. Quasi and his friends astounded over 10,000 children around Victoria with this new, yell-out fun pantomime experience!

If you missed out this time, The Hunchback of Notre Dame will be returning in 2005 for a very limited November season.

A big thank you to the many children who wrote to us, played full out at the performances and yelled out "He's behind you" when Quasimodo just couldn't find Headless Harry! Sincere thanks to all the venues from all varying areas, regional and metro throughout Victoria, that invited us to perform - thank you for your contribution to the quality of cultural life of the children in your community. Finally to the actors - your talent and passion to quality children's theatre is inspiring.

"Great voices, great singing - interaction with children was fantastic. What talent! Costumes were amazing - attention to detail superb. Terrific sound and clever lighting. Well written script to include all elements of pantomime - humour, pathos, songs, choreography. Reinforced our anti-bullying values. Very friendly, professional and accessible to children and staff. An enthralling performance during which children and adults alike were totally absorbed. Great theatre! Apart from the wonderful performance I was very impressed with the total professionalism evident in the pre-show contact and information, the punctuality and the efficient setting-up of equipment etc. Congratulations to Ben and the team, and thank you for a memorable theatrical experience." - Marg Roberts, Kunyung Primary School

"Outstanding! Thank you!! [Regarding the sets,] I was taking notes for the Rock Eisteddfod next year! Beautiful [script] - keep the pantomime alive! The cast were friendly and easy to talk to. The kids need to see the lights, smoke, effects etc. You did everything you possibly could - sent info before the show and activities to do. What did I like best - where do I start? The story, music, sets, costumes, acting! I could go on and on. Thank you for bringing "real" theatre to out students at an amazing price. We can't wait for your next production of 'Sleeping Beauty'." - Angela Phillips, Woodlands Primary School
