Trinity Drama Exams Sat 17th and Sun 18th July
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010Just a little good luck message to the 67 members of Theatre Cats who are taking their Trinity Drama Exams over this weekend. Sat 17th July is at The Brewhouse Arts Centre in Burton, DE14 1EB. Sunday 18th July is at The William Allitt School in Newhall, DE11 0TL.
You have all put so much effort into learning your stories, actions, monologues, mimes and poems. Now the time has come to impress the examiners with your skills! A big thank you must also go to all of the mums, dads, grandparents and friends who have encouraged you along the way!
Therefore there are no Theatre Cats classes on Sat 17th July. Sat 24th July is our last class before Summer where we will be giving out Theatre Cats reports and certificates and your exam results!
Fi, Tom, Alex, Kyle and myself are already so proud of you all. Remember to aim high, introduce yourself and your pieces and smile! 
Musical Theatre Summer School for 5-16 year olds – Wizard of Oz!
Monday, June 28th, 2010Newsflash! The Newhall Summer School is now full, however, our Derby Summer School still has places available but book your place today as places go quickly!
During last year’s Summer School we went High School Musical crazy. This year we’re travelling down the yellow brick road to see The Wizard of Oz! The summer school for 5-16 year olds will run twice this year in different locations. Both will run from 9:30-3:30 everyday.
The first will take place at The William Allitt School in Newhall from Monday 2nd – Friday 6th August. The second will take place at Heatherton Community Centre in Derby from Monday 23rd – Friday 27th August. As always, there will be a performance on the last day to family and friends.
We have 40 places available in each summer school.
For Theatre Cats students the summer school costs just £79 for the week which equates to about £15 per day. For non-Theatre Cats members the cost is £99 for the week. If you are interested in either summer school
please email Cat at info@theatrecats.co.uk. Places are allocated on a
first-come-first-served basis.
The children have a great week, learn lots and have loads of fun making
new friends too! To see photos from last year’s summer school go here

Theatre Kittens to launch in Burton
Monday, June 7th, 2010Theatre Cats is pleased to announce that it will be opening its second Theatre Kittens class for pre-school children aged 2-4 years in Stretton, Burton. The launch date is Wednesday 9th June. The class will take place at The Priory Centre, Church Road, Stretton in Burton on Wednesday mornings at 10:00-11:30am. To register for a free taster class, simply go to www.TheatreCats.co.uk or call 01283 531635.
Theatre Kittens classes involve a variety of skills, including singing, movement and rhythm, imagination building, playing with instruments, dressing up and story-telling through drama. Research shows that early participation in drama, music and the performing arts develops imagination, creativity, confidence, coordination, language and communication skills.
Theatre Kittens will enhance your child’s development through shared activities for you both to enjoy. It’s an ideal way for you to socialise with other parents over a cuppa too.
Theatre Cats also runs classes for 5-16 year olds in Burton, Derby and Newhall. Theatre Kittens also runs a class for 2-4 year olds in Mickleover.
