Last week two talented and enthusiastic actors visited our school to perform the show “Back to Before”. The show used books that were nominated for “The Children’s Book Council of Australia” Book Week Awards, to spin an exciting and funny story.
The two main characters were Sam, who was celebrating his birthday, and Mrs McTock who was the old and mysterious neighbour. Mrs McTock invited Sam to visit her in her old and scary house. Sam was tricked into playing a game and a series of crazy adventures, where he met up with Katie, the young Mrs McTock.
Other characters included the Time Keeper, who controlled the game, Sam a boy who was frightened of what he didn’t know, and a baby called Daisy who had to learn to talk.
By using clues from the books, Katie and Sam were able to escape back to the present time. Sam and Mrs McTock become good friends, they learn that the past and the present are often linked in strange ways, and that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover – meaning things are not always the way they look.
Lots of singing and dancing as well as audience participation meant that everyone had a great time! Even Sandy was heard to hum along and groove a little
Here are the names of the books that were part of the show:
Chatterbox by Margaret Wild
Woolvs in the Sitee by Margaret Wild
The Arrival by Shaun Tan
Amy and Louis by Libby Gleeson
You might like to read these great books – we enjoyed them all

You know what Clement? We couldn’t find the names of the actors on any of the information that we were given
Some AllStars and a friend took the photos – maybe we need to come up with some tips for taking photos – what do you think????
