This was an ambitious production whcih saw 2 different versions staged - a contemporary version and a 1950’s version.

An original tap dance musical in the tradition of Hollywood’s best-loved musicalsof the 30’s and 40’s. Great songs from Gershwin, Kern, Fields, Calloway and more.

The production was critically acclaimed and widely-praised by audiences. The cast really enjoyed being directed by Warwick and his assistant directors Warren and Catherine.

Our premiere season of Knock on Wood saw 2 sell-out performances with a waiting list for tickets. We are planning more performances of this musical during 2004, and we’ll keep you posted.

CHRISTMAS PANTOMIME
The Magic Green Taps

This was great fun and a terrific way for RAPA to celebrate Xmas with our friends. Great performances from Glenn Wood and his fabulous tappers, Victoria Wildie, Erin Thursby and lots of others helped the show go off like a cracker (Xmas cracker that is). We’re planning another in 2004 so get your holly out!

This was an absolute hoot and played to great acclaim from the kids and adults at Concord RSL on December 14th. This could well be the world’s first Tapomime!
