Welcome to your Theatre Cats update! *100% Pass Rate for Trinity Exam Students* 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!

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: http://www.mellow-dramatics.org 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
