Rainbow Fish
Sophie watched Rainbow Fish by iTheatre on Sat together with her Sept baby friends.
I’ve heard a lot about it in the past because it’s a local production and it has been performed at Church of our Saviour’s a couple of times. But I’ve never watched it. After watching it and reading up, I found out that it was originally a collaboration between All Good Gifts Ltd and iTheatre, which meant that it had Christian influence on its script. Ah… that explained why some of the songs sounded Christian.
It was good - James and I enjoyed it very much. Sophie was a bit scared of the dark in the beginning but once it started, she was so engrossed and even asked to sit in her own seat on a booster seat after a while! It was an hour long but it captured her attention.
Halfway thru the show she turned to me and said her fav was the starfish and when the octopus came out, she said she liked it too. Looks like she’s got her own view on stuff now, maybe a movie critic in time! 
But the best part?!?! Her little time with DN before the show. They sat next to each other and had a moment. You gotta check out DN’s blog to see the pictures!
P/s There are some craft related to the book that we’re planning to do. Here’s the reference - DLTK website.

Hi James, Ai Ling, + Sophie!
I stumbled upon your website and I’m so glad to hear you went to watch The Rainbow Fish. Yes the dark did scare come children but only at the start. I didn’t know that it was a collaboration before. That’s great to hear! How did the craft session go? Well, my name is Jilly and I played the Starfish. So I was wondering if I can create a link to this page from my website, and/or quote a sentence or two from your post.
I appreciate your time in reading this, and I look forward to your reply, whatever it may be. Thank you so much and all the best! This is my website for your reference : jilly.co.nr
Yours sincerely,
Jilly Tan

Hi Jilly,
Thanks for writing :). It’s so cool of you to write coz you were Sophie’s fav character! Since then she has had a collection of starfishes, her daddy even made one for her out of felt material. Pls go ahead to link to our site or quote us.

Hi AiLing, thank you so much once again!
What the audience receives is very important to me, as I always think the story-tellers put in just part of the ingredients in a tale but the audience tells the rest of the story. I cherish that personal experience of sharing.
Yes I love the songs as well! After playing Starfish, I’ve been singing at various weddings and am performing a Jazz & Christmas set from 8 to 8:45pm at One Fullterton this Friday (19th) and Wednesday (24th). Details are at jilly.co.nr
It would be wonderful if you could stop by and let me thank you personally. May you have a happy festive holiday season filled with lots of love!
Yours sincerely,
Jilly
