Our Theatre Cats Students from Derby, Burton and Newhall have recently come together to provide a Christmas showcase for friends and family at The William Allitt School in Newhall.
The students worked really hard learning lines and reheasing songs and dances during the Winter term.
The 3 performances from our intermediate, young and older students took place on Saturday 12th December. Each performance was to a packed audience.
The students were given poems to learn and perform, this type of recital is where students learn key performance skills such as confidence on stage, using a clear and loud voice and memory skills. All of which are necessary for students to progress and for those who choose to take exams with Theatre Cats through Trinity Guildhall.
The students also had to learn songs, dances and drama extracts to showcase their talents. This included High School Musical, Annie, Blood Brothers, Hairspray and Grease to name but a few.
The feedback at the end of each performance was excellent with parents overwhelmed with their child’s success and what they had achieved in 10 classes.
We were extremley proud of everyone who took part and we look forward to seeing you all for a new term and a new year in January 2010.
We’re now at the end of term and Christmas is on the horizon, but first, a recap of the fabulous achievements at Theatre Cats and what’s just around the corner:
Christmas Showcase performances…
Over 140 students recently took part in our Christmas Showcase performances at The William Allitt School on Saturday 12th December. There were 3 performances on the day, each to sell-out audiences. We understand that it was a little cramped at times in the audience but of course we didn’t want anyone to miss the chance to see their child perform. Our students had been working hard on their songs, poems, drama pieces and dance routines to entertain and showcase their talents. Well done to all involved – you made us very proud!
Trinity Guildhall Examinations…
45 Theatre Cats students from our Burton, Newhall and Derby classes took Trinity Guildhall drama exams in July 2009 and achieved 100% pass rate. We will be running
another exam session in 2010, however, places will be limited to the first 45 students so watch this space!
The Team at Theatre Cats…
Since September 09 we have had a number of new teachers and assistants join the team. We have welcomed Tom Brassington, Alex Fung, Kyle Lamley and Laura Huxley to Theatre Cats and they are enjoying every minute!

Starring our very own Tom Brassington as the Dame, Fiona Parker as the Mirror and Lauren Taylor as the Wicked Queen! One of our young Burton students: Sarah Huthmacher is also playing her début role in the show. The Saturday performance is now full but we still have places available for Thursday 21st January. Please let us know asap if you are interested.
New Classes Starting in 2010…
We are going to be launching our new Theatre Kittens classes for 2-4 year olds (pre-school) in Burton and Derby. We have already over 40 people interested simply through word-of-mouth alone. If you are interested, simply go to the Theatre Cats website and register for Theatre Kittens. More information to follow…
Unfortunately due to a room booking mix-up at Shobnall Leisure Complex our first 2 classes back on Saturday 9th and Saturday 16th January 2010 will now take place at The William Allitt School, DE11 0TL instead. We chose this location as most people know where this is due to past shows and summer schools. The time for your class will remain the same. We apologise for any inconvenience and we will be back at Shobnall as normal from Saturday 23rd January.
