INVITATION  TO A `STAGECOACH DISCOVERY DAY`

to families who may be interested in a Stagecoach place for their child.

Stagecoach has built up an excellent `word-of-mouth` reputation, across a 14 year period, for the quality of training that it gives
and for the differences it can make to children`s social skills and well-being. We have also achieved an enviable record for the professional performing opportunities made available to our students and the success of our older students in reaching higher level training. If you would like to see what Stagecoach is all about and test its good reputation, then here is the ideal opportunity.

We have news of  a special `Discovery Day`  that  we would like to tell you about as a very special FREE Christmas gift offer to YOUR child.

WHAT AND HOW

Your child would come along to join in the fun at Stagecoach for 3 hours, taking classes, with Stagecoach staff, alongside some Stagecoach students. Classes would be held in Dance, Drama and Singing - all on a Christmas theme. THERE WOULD BE NO COST
INVOLVED. At the end of the session, parents would be able to come along and see what progress has been made and find out any further information that they require. Where vacancies exist, it will also be possible to enrol for the new January term. Those enrolling, will be able to choose a free gift to take them forward into their new term.

WHEN AND WHERE

On Saturday 10^th December from 10.00am until 1.00pm at The Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, Darlington OR on Sunday 11^th December from 10.00am until 1.00pm at Teesside High School, Eaglescliffe.

ACT NOW!!

Please be aware that news about these  FREE Discovery sessions is being advertised in the Press, leafleted about in schools, and being posted out to previous enquirers. Places on the Discovery sessions are strictly limited by insurance requirements and in the past have led to waiting lists for places. RING 01325 337667 to book YOUR place. Leave a message and your telephone number, if there is no-one to take your call and someone will get back to you. Places are allocated on a first come first served basis.  I AM AFRAID
THAT ANYONE SIMPLY TURNING UP ON THE DAY, WITHOUT HAVING BOOKED A PLACE WILL BE UNABLE TO BE ACCEPTED ONTO THE COURSE.

             SO COME AND START THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES WITH US - AT `STAGECOACH`

SHREK HELPS STAGECOACH THEATRE ARTS SCHOOLS
RECOGNISE AND REWARD INSPIRATIONAL YOUNG PEOPLE

Stars from the top West End show, Shrek The Musical are helping Stagecoach Theatre School’s search for this year’s young heroes who have faced adversity, demonstrated bravery, shown courage, and those who have cared for others.

The Stagecoach Theatre Arts Awards will be presented at a special awards ceremony at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, the home of Shrek The Musical, on Monday 28th November 2011.

Actor Nigel Lindsay, who plays the hero Shrek in the West End production said: “Throughout the years, Stagecoach has been aware of a
number of young people who have displayed enormous courage and endurance, ones who have suffered bereavement, family break-up, accidents and illness and who have faced circumstances where they have been required to become carers themselves.”

Nigel adds: “We all know Shrek’s a hero, but if anyone out there from  Darlington and Teesside can think of someone special who they think is a young hero and who deserves recognition, and who would be a good role model for other young people, then please think about making a nomination.”

Trudy Hindmarsh who runs the Stagecoach Schools in Darlington and Yarm, adds: “Stagecoach Theatre Arts Awards winners are the heroes of the next generation and we want to know in the words of Shrek, ‘What’s your story?’ “

Nominations for this year’s Awards will be accepted for any child aged between four and eighteen, regardless of whether or not they attend a Stagecoach School.

Awards for this year’s young heroes will be presented in the following categories:

• The
  Stagecoach Theatre Arts Award for Bravery - recognising young people who have
  demonstrated courage.

• The
  Stagecoach Theatre Arts Good Buddy Award -recognising young people who have
  proved to be good role models.

• The
  Stagecoach Theatre Arts Young Citizen Award - recognising young people who have
  demonstrated community spirit, innovation and leadership.

• The
  InterAct Award - for outstanding achievement through adversity.

Finalists and their parents, or guardians, as well as those who have made the nominations, will be invited to attend the VIP ceremony at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and will be invited to see Shrek The Musical after the ceremony.
