“I have held 3 EK. Productions plays and highly recommend them. The scripts are cleverly written with witty humour that children and audience members appreciate. The whole school from Prep to Grade 6 have enjoyed presenting an entertaining performance and the audience provides them with laughter and good feedback, encouraging the children to lift their performance to an even higher standard on the night. The songs are easily choreographed and written to sing in a range that even the most reluctant singer can join in. Why not offer your students a tremendous opportunity to see just what they can do? Amaze your community and try out one of Elaine’s plays. You won’t be disappointed.

“Colbinabbin Primary School has performed several of Elaine’s musical plays. We love them for the captivating storylines, humour and ease of staging. The scripts are easily adapted to our small size. The songs are catchy and easy for the children to learn. Our community is always in awe of what we can achieve with our whole school productions and much of this is due to Elaine’s work. We have had a lot of fun over the many years of our association with E.K.Productions.”

‘Jules is a fantastic choice for schools. It is a play that inspires joy, laughter, singing and movement for every child. Weaving original songs and script, Elaine’s clever writing ensures a large variety of characters. Laugh your socks off comedy written with fantastic rhyme and rhythm. Elaine’s plays are a true Australian treasure for primary schools. Jules is heart warming, energising and inspiring.’

‘Having worked personally with one of Elaine’s productions I can assure you the scripts are full of fun and the music very engaging. The scripts relate to everyday life and people. The lyrics in the music combine emotions, relationships and fun to make them an ever lasting memory for the children as they learn some important lessons along the way whilst singing them. The children will have fun, laughter and lots of learning with Elaine’s wonderful productions.’

“Songs were catchy and memorable. Costumes were visually effective. Kids were really happy, the songs were catchy and easy to learn. Actions were the best bit! Such a choreographer!! I love, love, love, Elaine’s actions. Easy to copy, some quite fast which is really fun for the kids, and when the whole school performs the finale song with en mass actions – it is mind blowingly good. Such a great feel, and so well received!”

“Once again the play was thoroughly enjoyed by all. As with your other plays we have performed, we found the plot interesting, the music and music key suitable for children and the script easy for the children to learn. The length of play was good too. (Not too long for a night performance, parents appreciated this.)”

“Wow! We still have parents raving, children singing songs, playing ‘walk the plank’ and people stopping us in the street about our wonderful production of “Don’t Rock The Boat”. I can’t thank you enough for allowing us the opportunity to give these children such an amazing experience. It was a very cleverly written musical with funny lines and extremely catchy music.”

We had over one hundred children in the cast and they performed this musical over three nights, to very enthusiastic audiences.

‘What a night! Beaming young performers from St Mary’s Primary School, proud families and an audience spellbound by the joy of what they have just witnessed! Elaine Keely’s latest production, “Find The Music Within” once again reflects her skill as a writer and composer of imaginary, age appropriate musicals that are ideal for primary students but able to be enjoyed by all. Her ability to relate to children of all ages and inspire them to be their best is evidenced by the pride the young actors display in their newly acquired skills. A wonderful evening’s entertainment!’
