                  Morgan played by Poppy

Hello my name’s Poppy. I’m in grade 6 and I really wanted to have a main part in the play as this is my final year at Clifton Hill and my last chance I’ll ever get to perform on stage with my primary peers! I really wanted to be Morgan because I feel like if all the characters were real people, I’d probably choose them to be my friend. They are smart, dramatic and just a little self involved, and I felt I could really take on that character. I’m excited to take what I’ve practised in the classroom and out onto the stage, and have an amazing experience with my class.
