Shine Your Light : The Album by Jessica Hannagan

“Shine Your Light”,an album of 12 fun, inspirational, heartwarming and helpful songs for the whole family, is the first children’s release for Byron Shire local singer/songwriter and mother Jessica Hannagan. Jessica will launch the album with a special family event, Shine Your Light: The Show, at the Byron Community Centre on Saturday November 24.

Shine Your Light: The Show portrays the adventures of a little family as they journey through a beautiful day that begins with the marvel of a morning sun shower, proceeds richly with fun, friends and food, and gently closes with abundant gratitude for the wondrous blessings of nature, health and, most importantly, loved ones.

With scenes and songs to tug at the heart strings and tickle the funny bone, Shine Your Light: The Show supports positive behaviour and habits for a healthy and happy life. It playfully models (for all ages) self-care and responsibility, strong family and community values, and the joy that life holds when you open up and ‘shine your light’.

BRIGHT LIGHTS PERFORMANCE SCHOOL PRESENTS FAME! JR.

Bright Lights Performance School students will perform Fame! JR.

Directed by Rebecca Balfour and Choreographed by Lee Purdie.

Fame! JR. is based on the hit motion picture. The musical follows the bittersweet but inspiring story of a diverse group of students as they commit to four years of gruelling artistic and academic work in order to achieve their dream of “hitting the heights” and putting their “name in lights.” With insight and humour, the show explores the issues that confront many young people today, including prejudice, identity, self-worth, literacy and perseverance.
