The Battle of Boat is a courageous tale of a group of children
trying to find their place in a world at war in 1916. Frustrated by their inability to join the soldiers in battle, the children decide to do whatever it takes to help in the war effort. However, they soon have to tackle their own conflict in the form of a local gang of bullieswho will stop at nothing
to see every plan they form fail.
As we celebrate 100 years since the end of that war, it helps us remember to have hope during dark times, and that if we work together, we can come through anything! Heartwarming, funny, emotional and exciting, this original new musical which is a true celebration of the steadfast British spirit that shone through during the WW1,
This show is performed entirely by children aged 8 to 18, our "ACT All-Stars", an advanced performance troupe made up of our most experienced students.
The Battle of Boat promises to be a moving and exceptional performance for all ages, but is most suited to students ages 6 and up, as the show does address the issue of Bullying and the fight scenes could be overwhelming for younger ones. Parents, you can make this decision! There is of course no actual blood on stage, just children who fight each other with fists and sticks, and some instances of older students threatening or bullying younger ones. It is a great tool to use to discuss bullying and the different ways in which characters in the show deal with it, stand up to it, and its consequences.
