Magical mayhem in Fringe musical for kids

Tyler BrownJoondalup Times

A MUSICAL that goes wrong for all the right reasons, Once Upon A Fractured Fairytale is written by kids for kids.

Created and presented by the students from JETS (Joondalup Entertainers Theatre School), the Fringe World Festival show follows the journey of an evil sorceress who wants to rule the world with a plan to capture the fairytale characters and send them to an altered universe.

JETS principal Ros Boyer said the performance was an inspiring show starring both its musical students and JetsAbility students for youth with disability, with ages ranging from 11 to 17.

“We are so excited to be giving kids of all abilities the chance to experience the incredible joy of being a part of Fringe World Festival,” she said.

“We wanted to work with our students to create and deliver their own artistic work and educate them on being professionals involved in the arts.
