About The Play, A note from the director
“Broken Crayons Still Colour”
Is the stimulus we used to inspire our show. As the director, I was incredibly impressed with the depth in which the cast explored this theme, not taking it at face value, exploring mental health, peer pressure, self-image, to name a few of the themes in the play.
They used colours to inspire their characters initially. Can you figure out which colours the characters are based on? The actors should be commended not only for their hard work in devising this original piece, but on how they have grown as troupe of actors, relying on and encouraging each other.
The play runs for 15 minutes and the cast invite you to hang around and hear them sing some songs (To cheer you up after shedding a tear while watching their challenging performance.)
