The troupe's production of "The Worst Witch" is a fun and lighthearted adaptation of the popular children's book series by Jill Murphy. The main idea of this troupe is to entertain and engage audiences of all ages with catchy songs, energetic dance numbers, and a compelling storyline. The play follows Mildred as she navigates her way through her first year at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, encountering a variety of colorful characters along the way. One of the standout features of "The Worst Witch" troupe is the talented cast, who bring their characters to life with their acting, singing, and dancing skills. From the clumsy and endearing Mildred to the charismatic and mischievous Ethel Hallow, each character is portrayed with a unique personality and charm.
Murphy developed a love of reading and writing at an early age thanks to her mother, a former librarian who was, in Murphy’s words, “mad about books.” By the time Murphy was 11 years old, she had written and illustrated more than 90 small, hand-stapled books. She still has all of them and often takes them with her on school visits to show kids that art can be messy and imperfect.
She brought two friends home for tea one rainy day, and when Murphy s mother opened the door to the three of them in their drenched school uniforms, she told them they looked like witches. When she finally decided she liked her wings and didn t want to hide them anymore, this early version of Mildred flew off to fairy school, where she traded her witch s robes for a pink fairy frock.
From the clumsy and endearing Mildred to the charismatic and mischievous Ethel Hallow, each character is portrayed with a unique personality and charm. The production also features impressive sets, costumes, and special effects that help transport the audience into the magical world of Miss Cackle's Academy. The attention to detail in these aspects of the show adds to the overall enjoyment and immersion of the audience.
