‘Such a delightful show with beautiful music and simplicity. Thanks for the chance to be able to adapt it so that all 94 Year 1 children had a speaking role even if it was small. The Kinder classes are looking forward to their turn to shine next time, but they loved supporting all the singing and getting dressed up. Parents just loved it - what more can you say?’  - CT, School for Girls.

Product Description

Starlight is VERY easy to stage making it suitable for small schools with limited staging facilities. Hints and tips are included in the script making this a good choice for anyone producing an Infant Nativity for the first time.

The Songs have lovely repetition and one song in particular, "There's a Star", is an absolute show-stopper. All your parents will be humming this as they leave ... and for days afterwards!

Starlight brings in the "Herod" aspect of the story - your boys will be very engaged! There are 21 speaking roles and a solo song for Mary. You can cast as many extras as you like as the script allows for this with roles for Guards, Angels, General Public, Additional Travellers, Attendants, Stars and Market Traders. Starlight is also suitable for the inclusion of "Early Years".

A BRAND NEW product called "Sing it!" is available for this musical. This CD-ROM can teach the songs to the children without any teacher input. Children can use it at school or at home (think of the time it will save you!). Most schools use it in class on an interactive white board or in the school hall on the overhead projector to allow full cast practice. This latest version allows Lyrics on or off, Vocals on or off and the facility to practise one line at a time - all features are accessible instantly with one click. Children LOVE learning this way and the product is foolproof.

Also available is a CD-ROM of Backdrops, which contains instant scenery with digital backdrops supplied in both a PowerPoint presentation and as individual JPG files. No more scenery painting! These images may be projected onto a screen or wall at the back of your stage or hand them to a local printer to print onto large boards or sheets in order to create your stage backdrops. They're also useful to print off for cast and stage crew to familiarise themselves with the sets and scene changes. The CD-ROM of Backdrops contains a different backdrop for every scene change.

Another new product is AudioScript, an "Audio Book" style read-through of the entire show performed by professional voice actors. The AudioScript is supplied on a CD and teaches each child their lines, when to perform them and most importantly, HOW to perform them. The copy and repeat method is simply the best and quickest way to learn. You can listen to a sample of the AudioScript product in the "Contents/Songlist" section below.
