Falkirk’s Big Bad Wolf Children's Theatre Company members perform Christmas classic

Unable to put on a show for their fans due to coronavirus restrictions, the talented troupe resorted to the online platform Zoom to share a cover of John Williams’ Somewhere in my Memory.

Jonny Graham, BBWCTC musical director, says the young actors and actresses are yearning to get back on stage and perform.

He said: “This year has obviously been a difficult time for all including our loyal Big Bad Wolf members who have sadly missed rehearsing, performing and entertaining the local community.

“We returned to rehearsals via Zoom in September, which has been a different yet hopefully enjoyable experience for the children involved.

“A highlight for us in recent weeks was recording the song and sharing our efforts to our Facebook audience.

“While this is not the same as performing at the usual Christmas light switch-ons, or in the town hall to a live audience, it has brought the company great pleasure to bring some joy and music to our online audience.

“After Christmas we will be continuing to work hard initially on Zoom and hopefully ready to perform when restrictions allow us to.”

Posting on Facebook, BBWCTC wrote: “Unfortunately you can't come to see us so we thought we'd bring our fabulous members to you.

“In true Big Bad Wolf style, we'd like to thank you for your continued support and wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy 2021.”
