The play will be put on at 6:30pm on Saturday night in central hall and features 7 - 11 year olds performing cabaret songs from throughout the decade.
Student Action Week co-ordinator, Liz Woolard said: "This week is going to be a huge amount of fun, we've everything planned from training for existing volunteers to a talk about all of our projects, then our huge volunteering fair and as a big finale a concert in central hall where 200 local school children will be performing cabaret songs."
The performance is just one of a packed roster of events including a competition to design a mural to put on the boards which surround the new HERC building. The week will also see a variety of events from volunteering challenges, to competitions and training courses.
The big event on Tuesday is a volunteering fair being held in Goodricke Dining Hall, with 20 local, national and international charities attending to try tempt students to volunteering with their charities.
