FAQ
Q: Do I need to be able to have a really good singing voice?

Q: Do I have to sing on my own?
A: No. Not if you don’t wish to. Some of the songs will have solos but these will be given to those who want to sing on their own.

A: This is where several singers are singing the same melody together.

A: No. Auditions can intimidate people and we want our Glee Choir to be welcoming for everyone.

Wizard of Oz Summer School – A Musical Theatre Summer
Monday, September 6th, 201060 students from Theatre Cats Stage School have recently
rehearsed and performed a show within a week. Children between 5
and 16 years of age came to the summer school every day to learn
all the songs, dances and acting skills to be able to perform
the stage version of The Wizard of Oz.
The summer schools ran from Monday 2nd to Friday 6th August at
The William Allitt School in Newhall and Monday 23rd – Friday 27th
August at Heatherton Community Centre in Littleover. On the last
day there was a performance to family and friends to showcase the
talents of the youngsters. ‘It’s amazing what you did in just four
days. The children were obviously really enjoying themselves’ said
one parent.
The children were so dedicated and they enjoyed every second.
We were very proud of them.
The Theatre Cats team are already planning next year’s summer school.
