the moth tree: an awesome adventure
posted 11/12/2006
CYT concluded 2006 with a magical production by sixteen energetic 9-12 year olds. The Moth Tree was a collaborative production devised by the participants with emerging director Tim Hansen, and then written by an emerging writer from Sydney, Shiereen Magsalin. As reviewer Peter Wilkins from The Canberra Times wrote, the mythical tale was “thoroughly engaging and heart-warming, to be enjoyed by young and old alike”. A HUGE congratulations to the cast and crew who all worked very hard to create and bring the story of The Moth Tree alive.
