Further Stages Exam Weekend
This weekend will take place at Teesside High School, The Avenue, Eaglescliffe, Stockton, TS16 9AT from 10.00pm until 4pm on Saturday 4th and 10.00am until the show finishes on Sunday 5th June. The shows will start at 6.30pm. The examinations taken are Trinity College London exams in “Group Musical Theatre in Performance” and will be worth UCAS points equivalent to an AS level or a lower grade A level. Darlington Further Stages will be performing extracts from “Blood Brothers” and Yarm Further Stages will be performing a devised piece called “Who Killed Mary Poppins?”
All students need to bring packed food and drinks because I cannot be responsible for them going off the premises. There are some vending machines there but they are not reliable and regularly “eat” money. Students must bring all costume items with them. Any prop that they handle is their responsibility to bring. If there are any costume and prop problems please ring me on 01325 337667. It goes without saying that students will need to know all their lines and lyrics before they arrive for the weekend.
There will also be a theory or extra element to the exam requirements which I will be discussing with the students this weekend.
Anyone can come to see the show for free but we will be holding a collection after the show in aid of our “Arms for Angels” fund to buy a decent prosthetic arm for Shannon Hart.
It is important to how well the students do for there to be an appreciable and supportive and responsive audience so please encourage lots of friends and relatives to come.

Yes and remember that they want to be a bit old-fashioned as the play is not of now - more like the 1980`s
