It was a busy week last week as Alway pupils transported their audiences back to Ancient Polynesia for their latest production – Moana.
Parents, staff, current pupils and pupils from local primary schools, Llanfaes, Mount St and Cradoc packed the auditorium over the 4 showings to view the professionally delivered production.
The two casts ‘Banana’ and ‘Coconut’ gave outstanding performances across the four showings with all lead characters delivering their parts with energy and enthusiasm.
