'CIRCUS GIRL' (Running time approx. 45 min.)
Carrots, Millie, Curly and Sebastian sing "FACES"	Millie, an orphan girl comes to the circus, has her fortune told by the owner Madame Alvarez and believes that she will become a girl clown. Madame plans to use her as a slave but Millie meets up with the clowns, Carrots and Curly, who train Millie, watched by Madame's cat, Sebastion. Madame's refusal to allow the young acrobats to replace her act and the subsequent lack of funds leads to the central conflict. All is resolved with knock-a-bout fun. Fast moving songs and dances, and some lateral thinking by the Circus family. (12 main characters plus extras where required)
Millie's song from 'Circus Girl'
Millie sings this song when she arrives at the circus. She is entranced by the colour, sounds and vibrant people and wishes she could be part of the Circus Family.
Could there be a place for me? In this big circus fam-i-ly? There's fun in the air And love I can share With these peo-ple Who live in har-mon-y. Do I dare to go in and see? What the future will hold for me? Could this be the ans-wer? A gypsy, or a dan-cer? Or a clown, in a circus com-pan-y?

'THE SETTLERS' (Running time approx. 45 min.)
	"The Settlers" moves from a fairground in London in the 1800's to H.M.S "The Rose" carrying passengers and convicts to Sydney, Australia. The protagonist- Tim, a 'street smart' youth, shepherds his young band of thieves but loses contact when he is sent to the adult prison in Sydney. Other passengers (settlers) become involved when the Irish convict, Murphy, kills one of the guards and Tim is implicated. The Captain acts on behalf of the young people who receive their pardons, but Tim turns outlaw escaping with Emily, his childhood sweetheart. While commenting on the plight of adults and children convicted of petty crimes, the play focuses on their wit. The songs and dances keep up the pace and contrast the good times and the bad. (22 characters plus extras as required)
'Cor blimey it's Australia'
The convicts sing this song when thay first glimpse Sydney from H.M. "The Rose"
Cor blimey it's Australia Don't tell me that this dump is Sydney town? Cor blimey it's Australia. You'd only need a spark to burn it down! Why have they brought us all this way? To try and teach us to obey the law? When it looks as though the ration will be low and either, starve or pinch some dough! The scene has changed But never us, Oh No! We're worse off than we ever were before! Click here to hear music (will take approx. 5 minutes to download) If you don't have a mp3 player you can get one at http://www.winamp.com/player/
