Hello, this is Natasha and I'm back with another Katie story.

This time, it's all about a witch playing another witch.

Katie's town had a theatre, a grand old building with steps and white pillars.

A long time ago it had been a musical hall featuring jolly songs and chorus girls.

In Katie's time when she was little she used to go to pantomimes there.

The tradition was that men would dress up as women and girls would play the part of boys.

All the children used to shout,

When the villain Long John Silver was creeping up on young Jim Hawkins.

So Katie had fond memories of the theatre and she was sad when it closed its doors two years ago.

It seemed people didn't want to go to the theatre anymore.

They were too busy at home playing Nintendo or watching

Pixflix. So she was really pleased when ISIS saw her at the school

break time and told her, guess what? The theatre's reopening. Oh that's great. What are they putting on?

Well, that's the thing, said Isis excitedly.

It's a musical, about a schoolgirl who's secretly a witch.

Isn't that amazing?

I suppose you're going to say her name is Katie.

No, but she's in love with a boy called Paul.

Who says coincidences don't happen?

That's not a coincidence, because I'm not in love with Paul. We're just

good friends. Well seriously, insisted ISIS. You should audition for it. Then we can come and watch you on stage.

Me singing and dancing. You've got to be kidding, replied Katie.
