A Youth Theatre production directed by Callan Kneale, with musical direction by Andrew Dobosz.

Inspired by the international bestseller of the same name, Children's Letters To God is a musical that follows the lives of five young friends as they voice beliefs, desires, questions and doubts common to all people but most disarmingly expressed by children. Sixteen tuneful songs and assorted scenes (some based on actual letters) explore timeless issues such as sibling rivalry, divorce, holidays, loss of a beloved pet, the trials of being unathletic and first love. This entertaining show carries a universal message which crosses the boundaries of age, geography, and religion.

As in the best-selling book, the musical is not specifically religious in nature. It's about kids and various events in their lives that lead them to ask a lot of questions -- some funny, some serious, some surprising.

Featuring Sam Tye, Charlie Darlington, Jayden Payne, Emily Gelineau, Noah Fullerton and a supporting cast of 21 wonderful young performers.

All shows commence at 8pm, except Sunday matinee's at 2.30pm
