Sammy dreams of being a singer in a group. When a local band is set up, she’ll do anything to get in to it. But how should she act? What should she wear? Suffering a real identity crisis, she goes through a series of disastrous but hilarious transformations in an attempt to impress them. Through cultural references and humour, we look at some of teenagers’ concerns– issues of self-esteem, peer pressure and worries about physical appearance. As with all our plays, the show is interactive and we continually refer to the audience through out the show, making them an integral part of the performance. Vocabulary and grammar includes comparatives and superlatives, the possessive and giving advice and obligations.

We provide a work pack with a summary of the story and vocabulary used, plus listening exercises.

We collaborate with

“Both children and adults got immediately carried away by the magic of the story and were involved in the show right until the very last minute thanks to the actors and the plot".

"The actors were very professional on stage and both the songs and the set, with all those changing scenes and lights, were spectacular".

“We loved everything: the acting, the worksheets, the songs, the set, the outfits, the interaction with the students”.

“The students were delighted with the show. They enjoyed themselves and laughed a lot, and understood everything, which is something us teachers like a lot!”.

I think you are doing a great job and the teachers and students' opinions are always favourable. It's hard to think about something we didn't like. What we liked best is how you motivate the audience.
