My first ever blog! I thought this would be a good way to keep the youth theatre members and their parents updated and to encourage people to see themselves as the part of the greater whole!
Hot news is that we performed at the Old People’s Home in Brundall this afternoon. The Musical Theatre group sang ‘Pack up your Troubles’ and acted an evacuee scene on the train station. it was hugely successful -we were very proud of everyone. Highlights included Caroline tripping over the twig and the strange go-carts that kept driving past us! There was some concern when pickle sandwiches came out, but we enjoyed lots of cakes a few minutes later-phew! Well done to everybody involved -you did us proud and made lots of elderly people very happy. The organiser said that it was wonderful to see the young people performing together and especially good because it involved some nostalgia.
Next Saturday (14th) is the Brundall School fete -the younger Brundall group are performing ‘A Single Wish’ accompanied by Chloe on the piano! If I can work out how to I’ll attach the poem they wrote for viewing. After that is a slightly more upbeat ‘Don’t Blame it on Sunshine’ by Musical Theatre -we are hoping to get the audience up and dancing for this one!
Sunday 15th is the technical and dress rehearsal for ‘Park Bench’, the massive experiment combining three groups and seven year groups. it will run from 2.00 until 5.oo in the Drama Studio at Thorpe – stress levels will be high as we try and fit it all together, but I’m sure we’ll be o.k…….eeeek.
The performances of ‘Park Bench’ are 18th and 20th June -7.00 in the Drama Studio. Tickets can be reserved from Monday!
Do reply to this if you find it and give me some advice on how to make it more succesful -my IT skills are limited! I’ll do a permission slip for photos and get some embarrassing shots on…..be warned Helena and Coralie!!
New blog is looking great – would love to see some photos/video of pack up your troubles. Good luck with the school fete Chloe.
Love the psychedelic header! Well done Sian on the IT front (and everything else, of course!). Fine to use photos of us.
Had great trouble accessing the blog and finally found it by default when looking for something else but, hey ho, I got there eventually!
Great to hear performance at Care Home went well – hope next week’s gig is equally successful! Good luck, Chloë, for the piano playing! We hope we see pictures of you on the web soon!
Am very impressed with your IT skills and can’t wait to see some pictures of the fete. Good luck with the piano Chloe too !
Looking good mate, well done. Strung up some more leaves ready for Sat, crossing fingers that it doesn’t rain!
This is fabulous, Sian!
It draws the eye, looks very professional and I enjoyed reading it.
I’ll keep logging in to enjoy up dates and additions – especially photos! x
