What a treat to watch the Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw School Primary students (grades 1-3) perform their play, "Molly and the Noodleheads" this morning!

Molly and the Noodleheads, written & directed by teach Mary Giesbrecht, is about a girl named Molly (played by Kylie Joe) who is fed up at her "noodlehead sisters" (played by Mary-Lynne Henderson, Judy Charlie and Mary George) so she decides to go on a journey to find some 

"normal" people. 

Along the way she encounters many people, but they all seem to be "noodleheads" too. There's Jilly, Nilly, Twiggy and Ziggy (played by Kelly Tom, Aaliyah Joe, Adadzi Charlie and Talon George) who try and bring the sun inside, in jars, to dry their floor!

Then there's the cool guys, Justin Case, Joe King, Tim Burr, and Stan Still (played by Grant Joseph, Romeo Clayton, Gregory Walkus and Jayree Joe) who try and rescue the moon that they think has fallen in the pond! 

Next comes the picnickers, Lulu, Fifi, Bobo and Jojo (played by Caroline Walkus, Annie-Lee Charlie, Jeremiah Walkus, and Dayna Charlie) who "lose" their feet when they cover their legs up with a blanket! Molly helps them out of their predicament, and carries on with her journey.

Lastly she encounters Taz the muscleman, Tessy the dancer, Twinkle the dancer, and Tilly, the friend (played by Reilly Walkus, Jessie Clair, Vickie Clair and Jodi Walkus-Charlie) who are worried about their friend who "took" the ferry and "dyed" his hair! Molly sets them straight, and decides to go home. 

When she gets home, Molly shares the big lesson of her journey - nobody is "normal" and 

noodleheads are just fine!

All of the actors did a great job, and it was great to see well over 100 community members in the audience supporting the students. Thank you very much to all the students and staff that put this great play together. See you on May 25th for the School's 15 year anniversary celebration!

Check out this phenomenal dance sequence from the play:
