COVER TO COVER - SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN with Frank Ozo

A magical mystical adventure into the world of books and through the eyes of the magical musical Frank Ozo.

Cover to Cover is a funny, well-paced comedy incorporating music, drama, mime, puppetry, magic and circus skills all linked with short charming tales about growing up in Australia. Each tale is another piece in the puzzle of how Frank, the son of an illiterate Italian migrant, became an avid reader and came to do what he does today.

  Students hear the stories behind the comedian as Frank takes us back to those moments that have shaped his life. We share his parents’ surprise when he first announces that theatre is the job for him. Another story tells how a playground bullying incident led to a lasting friendship with a fellow student who told him that he could find much of the information he would need for his new career, in books from the school library.

Using a great sound system and wearing a lapel microphone, Frank tells some of his story as Rap and Country n Western songs. Wake Up and Read is an engaging performance that encourages reading, both for pleasure and research, with positive background messages of multiculturalism, social harmony and anti-bullying.
