'The Lost Toys' finds audiences

There were two full houses in the Town Hall Theatre yesterday for the performances of 'The Lost Toys', featuring students from the Talented Kids Performing Arts School and Agency from Kilcullen.



The show was written and directed by Maureen Ward of Calverstown, who runs the TKPASA, which has 54 students between three and 20.



Maureen had worked with the performers for the last two months to stage the show, which is about lost toys being reunited with their owners.



Characters included a number of the toys, as well as Santa and his elves.

"It's a little like 'Toy Story' meets 'The Wizard of Oz'," says Maureen, who has been training young people like this for a dozen years. She established the TKPASA four years ago and it has been located in Kilcullen for the past three.

The proceeds of the shows were in aid of The Barretstown Camp for seriously ill children.
