“Lots of parents were commenting about how much growth they’ve seen in the children, which is what it is all about, growing in confidence and collaborative skills.”

A poised poetic solo introduction was delivered by young student Kyeh Dreyer after an interlude of ambient guitar instrumentals soothed the seating audience, which consisted of more than 70 individuals, visitors and family members pleased to be attending the free performance.

“I aim to be a dramatic actor on the stage, this is a great opportunity to start that journey,” Logan told NOTA.
