The team has recently returned from Guatemala and is presently touring the United States and Onta- rio with "Toymaker & Son" per- forming in schools, youth institu- tions and churches. It is an hour- long explosion of colour, dramatic movement and powerful music. Using these elements "Toymakcr & Son" tells the- Christian Story from Adam and Eve to the crucifix- ion in a way that quietly engages audience attention. Crisp movement and colourful costumes combine to bring freshness to the Gospel story. In a.ecent 12 month -period teach- ers from the Cambridge campus trained 21 "Toyniaker & Son" troupes, who went on to tour in 16 countries performing for over half a million people. A new sound -track commissioned in 1982 and written by New York composer Vince Co- rozine, has added to the impact and international appeal of the produc- tion. - I Spanish speaking audiences have been deeply moved as they watched "Toymakcr & Son performed live, and on nationwide television in cen- tral and South Amcrican countries including Mexico, Guatemala, Co- lombia and Chile. "Toymakcr & Son" was first pre- sented in 1978 by a group of ten- year -old students from Chesworth School, in Horsham, England, when Colin Harbinson was the act- ing headmaster and choreographer of the play. It was quickly recognized that Colin had found in "Toymaker & Son" a perfect combination: a message worth presenting, in a style that moved audiences from tears, to laughter, to resounding ap- plause. Since that time, "Toymakcr & Son" has received international acclaim as it has been seen by mil- lions of people, in over thirty coun- tries, on every major continent of the wGrld. ushers were Gerald, Lynn.
