Ormlie's Got Talent

16th July 2009

Earlier this month the Ormlie Drama Group along with some members of Thurso Junior Players staged a very professional show at The Mill Theatre which included elements of comedy, dance, singing and storytelling.

The Ormlie group is led by Donna Swanson assisted by Jacqueline Keith who is the Young Peoples Worker for Ormlie Community Association. The young people were also involved in the production and put in a tremendous amount of effort to get the show on the road!

Donna has been working with the Ormlie Drama Group for some time now and has built up an excellent rapport with the young people encouraging them to use their imagination and creativity in ways that has increased their self confidence and performing skills.

Donna expressed her feelings following the performance " The real hard work was down to the kids who have produced this show by themselves, with help from myself, Jacqueline and Alison Gerard who passed on her dancing skills. I would also like to thank The Mill Theatre for allowing us to use this excellent facility and Neil Mackay for his lighting expertise. Also the Y-Not, Sutherlands Chemist, J.A.Mackay and Serendipity for their kind donations to our raffle."

The cast were as follows:- John McGeachie, Anna Riddle, Reece Smith, Robyn Davidson, Euan Sinclair, Alison Gerard, Philippa Lisle, Megan Macleod, James Rollinson, William Macaulay, Kyle Easson, Jason Miller and Amy Main.
