Term Dates Winter 2011

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.

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.

We have 40 places available in each summer school.

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.

The children have a great week, acting, singing and dancing, they learn lots and have loads of fun making new friends too!

Cinderella Rockerfella – Burton and Newhall performances Sat 11th Dec

Cinderella Rockerfella – Burton and Newhall performances Sat 11th Dec

Our 5-16 year olds in Burton, Newhall and Mickleover will be doing their auditions for our Panto performance this year of Cinderlla and Rockerfella with kind permission from Out of the Ark Music. The Burton and Newhall groups will perform separately but both at The William Allitt School in the Junior Hall on Saturday 11th December. Times to be confirmed. We are currently looking for a venue for our Mickleover students which is a little closer to home.

Tickets will go on sale in November and will be on a first come first served basis.

The team at Theatre Cats are very excited about this performance as we have so many talented students and so the casting is proving to be very challenging.

Hopefully we will be reading the cast list out this week for each location.

Drama School Update September 2010

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. Classes for children aged 2 – 16 run throughout term time and the stage school also runs theatre trips, examinations, performances and summer schools.
