"Let there be light" Gensis

We started the week with Oli our director from the RSC - we impressed with our battle scene opening and our knowledge of the play - It was great fun! Sadly, the coach company have not clarified the price of the coach fare for the Monday and Tuesday- but Mrs Hodges has informed me that I’ll be able to post this on Monday. Here is a reminder of the important dates and how to get your tickets for the performance:

Monday 14th March - we will be travelling to the theatre via coach for our technical rehearsal with the staff at the Grand 9:05 to 10:05 (we may come to school a little earlier that day- I’ll let you know)

Tuesday 15th March we will be at the Theatre in the Monday for a full rehearsal with the other school. At 1:00pm we will be performing the play to an audience. School will provide transport back so children can come home for tea and rest. The children then have to return to Blackpool for 5:30pm for a second performance at 6:00pm. The show will finish at approx 7:00- 7:15ish all children will need picking up after the show from outside the theatre.

The children will be performing in black - black leggins and t-shirts and most importantly black shoes and black socks - will will need these for the week beginning 7th March

Tickets for the two performances can be purchased from The Grand theatre - here is a link
