A classroom full of local kindy teachers, along with a few extras, will try their hand at performing over the next two weekends in aid of raising funds for the region’s tamariki.
Jungle Fever brings together the group of performers for a show of fun, lipsyncing and hilarity at Broadgreen Intermediate.
Production team member Margie Meleisea says last year the show raised $36k which went back into local kindergartens enabling children to have excursions or experiences that wouldn’t otherwise be able to be budgeted for.
“We were also able to upgrade some resources at the hospital kindergarten, they use portable dvds for their patients so we replaced them and some other resources,” Margie says.
She says, this year the script that she’s written follows the journey of a group of passengers who start on a cruise and end up on a jungle safari, and all the mayhem that comes with the journey.
The show will involve three teachers who have performed every year since the first show and some who are hitting the stage for the first time.
“One of the cool things this year, is a number of kindy parent-owned businesses have come on board to support the show,” Margie adds.
