			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Newsflash! </strong>The Newhall Summer School only has  places remaining,  however, our Derby Summer School still has availability but book  your place today as they go quickly!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">During last  year’s Summer School we wen to see The Wizard of Oz.  This year we’re wanting more and are going to be performing Oliver  Twist! 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.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The first will  take place at The William Allitt School in Newhall  from Monday 1st –  Friday 6th August. The second will take place at  Heatherton Community  Centre in Derby from Monday 15th – Friday 19th  August. As always, there  will be a performance on the last day to  family and friends.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We  have 40 places available in each summer school.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For Theatre Cats and Glee  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.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The children have a great week, acting, singing and dancing, they learn lots and have loads of fun making new friends too!</p>

<p>Just a quick message to remind you of our new exciting Glee Clubs which are opening on Monday 13th June in Burton!</p>
<p>We  have already had great coverage by InBurton.co.uk and the Burton Mail  which has generated a lot of interest! However there is still time to  get your child&#8217;s name on the list if they are between the ages of 10-16.  We are also opening a class for adults too.</p>
<p>Here is some more information for you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Do you love Glee?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Do you want to sing and have lots of fun whilst being in a show choir?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Then get some Glee in your life and join our Glee Club Burton on Trent!</strong></p>
<p>There will be initially 2 classes opening on <strong>Monday 13th June</strong> 2011 at The <strong>Brewhouse Arts Centre in Burton</strong>.  The first at 6:30-7:30pm for 10-16 year olds and the second at  7:45-8:45pm for adults.</p>
<p>Your first class is FREE so you can see exactly what’s in store without it costing a penny!<br />
No auditions necessary, simply a desire to make music, move to the beat  and have a good time. Classes will cost just £5.00, however if you pay  for 4 weeks you will get the 5th class will be free. For existing Theatre Cats  students and their parents it will cost just £3.00. If you introduce a  friend to Glee Club and they enrol after their free class you will then  get your next class half price!</p>
<p><strong>Places will obviously be limited</strong> so to book your place call <span dir="ltr"><span title="Call this phone number in United Kingdom with Skype: +441283531635" dir="ltr"><span><span><span class="skype_pnh_print_container">01283 531635</span><span class="skype_pnh_container" dir="ltr"><span class="skype_pnh_mark"> begin_of_the_skype_highlighting</span> <span class="skype_pnh_highlighting_inactive_common" title="Call this phone number in United Kingdom with Skype: +441283531635" dir="ltr"><span class="skype_pnh_left_span"> </span><span class="skype_pnh_dropart_span" title="Skype actions"><span class="skype_pnh_dropart_flag_span" style="background-position: -2001px 1px ! important;"> </span> </span><span class="skype_pnh_textarea_span"><span class="skype_pnh_text_span">01283 531635</span></span><span class="skype_pnh_right_span"> </span></span> <span class="skype_pnh_mark">end_of_the_skype_highlighting</span></span></span></span></span></span> or email info@theatrecats.co.uk</p>
<p><strong>FAQ</strong><br />
Q: Do I need to be able to have a really good singing voice?<br />
A: No, just a desire to make music and have fun. A lot of what we will  be doing will be choral where many voices are singing together to create  a beautiful sound.</p>
<p>Q: Do I have to sing on my own?<br />
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.</p>
<p>Q: What is harmony?<br />
A: Harmony is when you have a number of ‘tunes’ that are sung together at the same time. It comes from the Greek verb <em>ἁρμόζω</em> (<em>harmozo</em>) which means: “to fit together, to join.”</p>
<p>Q: What is unison?<br />
A: This is where several singers are singing the same melody together.</p>
<p>Q: Will I have to audition to join?<br />
A: No. Auditions can intimidate people and we want our Glee Choir to be welcoming for everyone.</p>
<p>Q: How much will it cost?<br />
A: Your first class is FREE! Subsequent classes will be £5 per week,  however, if you pay for 4 weeks then you will get the 5th week free!  Existing Theatre Cats students and their parents it will cost just  £3.00. If you introduce a friend to Glee Club and they enrol after their  free class you will then get your next class half price!</p>

59 Theatre Cats students from our Burton, Newhall and Derby
classes had their Trinity Drama exams on Saturday
17th and Sunday 18th July. The day was a huge success with a
every single student passing for the second year running.
We look forward to presenting the certificates to the students
when they come back this week. Well done to everyone involved!

*The Wizard of Oz– A Summer School Success!*

60 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.

*Change of Burton Venue*

From September 2010 our Burton class on a Monday evening will be
taking place at The Brewhouse Arts Centre. Other Burton classes
remain unchanged.

*When Does the Winter Term Start?*

All classes start this coming week and we have some great things
planned so we look forward to seeing all students back and raring
to go!

Mon 6th Sep – Burton
Tues 7th Sep – Newhall
Wed 8th Sep – Mickleover and Theatre Kittens Burton
Fri 10th Sep – Theatre Kittens Mickleover
Sat 11th Sep – Burton

Please note there will be no Theatre Cats classes during the week
Monday 13th – Sunday 19th September due to many of our staff
being involved in Footloose at The Brewhouse Arts Centre. If you'd
like to come and see the show and support us, we'd love to see you
there. You can see details of the show at:
<a href="http://www.mellow-dramatics.org/" target="_blank">http://www.mellow-dramatics.org</a>    and the Box Office telephone
number is 01283 508100.

*Free Drama Workshop*

We at Theatre Cats believe that parents need reassurance when
enrolling their child on a new team or at a new club and this is
why Theatre Cats offers every child the chance to attend their
first class for free! Parents can then meet the teachers and ask
any questions they may have. It also gives the child the
opportunity to try something new without obligation.

If your child is not currently a Theatre Cats student, we do have
a few places available for the new term.  Please reply to this
email or call me on 0845 003 8230  to register your child for one
of the available places or discuss which class would be best for
them.

New invites for this term have already been sent out via email
and post to those who have requested them, however, if you haven't
received yours please contact us by replying to this email and we
will sort out a new invite for you straight away.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards
Catherine Budworth and the Theatre Cats Team</pre>

<div id="ecxmpf0_MsgContainer"><!-- @page {;} .ExternalClass P {margin-bottom:0.21cm;} .ExternalClass A:link {;} --></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="LEFT">Theatre Cats is ready to launch its third summer school and 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 from  9:30-3:30 everyday and we learn, rehearse and perform a show within a  week!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="LEFT">There are a vast amount of characters to challenge your child&#8217;s acting, singing and dancing skills, including Dorothy, Glinda, The Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, The Wicked Witch of the West, all the little Munchkins and many more!</p>
<p>It 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 which will commence at approximately 2pm.</p>
<p>However, we only have 40 places available!</p>
<p>So, here’s what you need to know to secure a place:<br />
The summer school cost is £99 for the whole week which equates to less  than £20 per day. A week of quality tuition from trained teachers in the  musical theatre field who are all CRB checked. For Theatre Cats students it is just £79.  If you are interested in  booking a place for your child on our summer  school please email Cat at info@theatrecats.co.uk or call 01283 531635.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Newsflash! </strong>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!</p>
<p>During last  year&#8217;s Summer School we went High School Musical crazy. This year we&#8217;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.</p>
<p>The first will  take place at The William Allitt School in Newhall from Monday 2nd &#8211;  Friday 6th August. The second will take place at Heatherton Community  Centre in Derby from Monday 23rd &#8211; Friday 27th August. As always, there  will be a performance on the last day to family and friends.</p>
<p>We  have 40 places available in each summer school.</p>
<p>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<br />
please email Cat at  info@theatrecats.co.uk. Places are allocated on a<br />
first-come-first-served basis.</p>
<p>The children have a great week, learn lots and have loads of fun making<br />
new friends too! To see photos from last year&#8217;s summer school go <a href="http://www.theatrecats.co.uk/gallery" target="_self">here</a></p>
