Wow....The Southern Highland's community are well and truly supporting our show....

A HUGE THANK YOU

from the SHYAC Production Crew

Over the holidays we have been busy collecting wonderful props, fabrics and amazing bling for both the costumes and sets for the Wizard of Oz. Production is well and truly underway and over a hundred costumes have already been made, (well nearly..). We have been very generously given a huge premises in Loftus Street, Bowral for the next eight weeks to construct all the sets, make all the props and costumes. We are soooooo very grateful for the kindness and support that we are have been receiving from our local community.

We do live in a special part of Australia....

Over the weekend we had many SHYAC parents, grandparents, family and children helping with sewing, cutting patterns, delivering gear, setting up and making costumes.

It was fabulous fun at our new SHYAC factory and definitely the place to be.......

Thank you, thank you, thank you to........
