play comes to pompallier

On Thursday the 6th of September The NZ playhouse performed at pompallier catholic school, it was a play mixed between little red riding hood and robin hood.  In my opinion the play was funny and awesome.  Other people thought the same and other people didn't like it as much.

Sandra Silberzweig

Sandra Silberzweig was born in the 1960's and raised in Toronto Canada.
