Hi All

Just a reminder about the workshop this Sunday from 1-30 to 3-30pm led by Toby Gaffney on Stage Combat/Execution and fitting into a scene.

Everyone who went to the one last week enjoyed it and had a good learning experience.

If you are now able to go to the professional performance of Dick Whittington in Manchester on the 22nd of December as the theatre is subsidising the trip by £40 please let me know. If you can let me know before the 29th of September I can get more tickets added at the reduced price otherwise they will be slightly more expensive.

Any questions please let me know

To everyone receiving their GCSE results today… ✨

Whatever is written on that piece of paper, please remember that your results do not define you.

They cannot measure your kindness, creativity, resilience, courage or the joy you bring to a rehearsal room. They do not show the friendships you have built, the fears you have overcome or all the wonderful things still waiting for you.

Celebrate the results you are proud of, be gentle with yourself if things have not gone as you hoped, and remember that there is always another route to where you want to be.

We are incredibly proud of every member of our youth theatre—not because of the grades you achieve, but because of the brilliant people you are. Your story is only just beginning. 🌙✨
