Carry On Fort Lytton

Carry On Fort Lytton is a go-back-in-time, hands-on activity-based, experience for school-aged children; using drama to engage them in real learning and great fun!
Dramatic scenario: It's 1944. The new recruits have arrived at Fort Lytton, but there seems to be a bit of a mix-up: because there are both boys and girls! Sergeant Wilson is flummoxed but Corporal Jones, Australian Women's Army Service, has a plan to get them through their inspection at the end of the first day.
History: In the Second World War, women were recruited into the Australian Women’s Army Service (AWAS). Fort Lytton was an important Australian training base and the AWAS provided much-needed support. But recent research has shown that Fort Lytton was actually heavily dependent on the AWAS; and, at times, it would appear there were more women on base than men! Carry On Fort Lytton is a way of bringing the history of those years into the 21st Century, for a generation whose great-grandparents would have been their own age, or younger, during that turbulent time.
This program is geared toward cross-generational engagement, so adults accompanying children are not charged.
