Numurkah Singers is a local theatre organisation and will be presenting the Legally Blonde musical on January 15 and 16 at the Numurkah town hall with a cast of kids aged between 10 and 18.
Assistant director and choreographer Megan Scott has been with Numurkah Singers since 2014 and will be choreographing the show.
“It's a two-week program in the summer holidays where kids come together ... we block a show, which means we put the show together in only a week and three days, so it’s pretty hectic.
“But honestly, the kids rise to the challenge, and it’s so good to see them all just really band behind each other and put it together.”
Alongside choreographing the show, Ms Scott will also be training the two cute canine cast members.

“We’ve got a golden dachshund named Alfie playing Bruiser and a little bulldog named Bruce playing Rufus, which is the one from the movie, so he’s very adorable.”
She said her favourite part of the process was seeing how the kids grew from the first day of rehearsals to performance day, adding their own personal flair to the characters.
“I love to watch how their confidence develops and grows over the time and see what they put on the stage on the last day because really they just exceed every expectation they have for themselves and that we have for them,” she said.

Ms Scott said her favourite aspect of the musical was the lead character, Elle.
“I admire her strength and her ability to face the world and everyone’s misconceptions of her, I think she's a really strong character that girls can look up to,” she said.
“It’s a just very fun, very pink show, vibrant and energetic, and it’s going to really give these kids a workout for their summer break.”
Ms Scott said supporting these small theatre projects was incredibly important to ensure they could keep putting them on.
