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.

Dear Parent/Guardian,

We are pleased to announce the date of our Christmas Showcase performance which will be on Saturday 12^th December. The performance will take place in the Dance Studio at The William Allitt School in Newhall.

We have decided to bring all of our students together to meet other students in their age group from Burton, Newhall and Mickleover. A great way of making new friends, learning from other people and gaining even more confidence.

Our intermediate students will be starting the day by arriving at the school at 9:30am. They will then have a dress rehearsal and their performance will be at 11:30am and will last approximately an hour. Our intermediate students will then go home. (Intermediate students are those who have a class at 6:30-7:30 during the week or 10:30-11:30 at the weekend.)

Our younger students will then arrive at 1:30pm. They will then have a dress rehearsal and their performance will be at 3:30pm and will last approximately an hour. Our younger students will then go home. (Younger students are those who have a class at 5:15-6:15 during the week or 9:15-10:15 at the weekend.)

Our older students will then arrive at 5:30pm. They will then have a dress rehearsal and their performance will be at 7:30pm and will last approximately an hour. Our older students will then go home. (Older students are those who have a class at 7:45-8:45 during the week or 11:40-12:50 at the weekend and also 5:00-6:10 on Mondays.)

If you know that your child cannot attend their Christmas Showcase performance can you please inform me immediately so that we know not to include them in dance routines etc.

Due to the number of students involved and seating limitations, I have only been able to currently allocate

2 tickets per student. However, if you would like more tickets, please request how many you would like and we will do our best to distribute them. The deadline for returning the ticket request slip is Monday 9^th November. Any remaining tickets will then be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis. Adult tickets are £5 and concession tickets (children 16 or under and OAPs) are £3. Please enclose payment and slip in an envelope clearly marked with your child’s name. Please make cheques payable to Theatre Cats.

If you do not require any tickets please let us know asap as we can allocate these to other people. The tickets will not be allocated to a certain seat, so you will simply be able to choose where you would like to sit on the day.

The students will all need to wear either black jazz shoes or similar such as black school pumps which they can dance in. They will also need a plain single coloured t-shirt (no logos) and either jeans or black trousers.

Further information regarding what they will have to wear will follow.

Kind regards

Catherine Budworth
