Stagecoach

The Parkmore group started the Murder mystery ball rolling in style.  There were universally strong drama performances and lively, entertaining cabaret pieces that kept the audience amused all evening. It was a great team effort on behalf of the students and their staff after a stressful week of wondering whether tickets would sell. Here are some photos taken by the staff on the day of the show. IN UPLOADING TO THE SITE THE PHOTOS MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME DISTORTION - IF YOU RIGHTCLICK OVER THE PHOTO AND SAVE TO YOUR COMPUTER IT WILL SAVE WITHOUT THE DISTORTION

NO STARE (DANCE AND SINGING) UNTIL SUNDAY 19th FEB WHEN SINGING STARE WILL START AGAIN FOLLOWED BY DANCE STARE THE WEEK AFTER (FOR A CONTINUOUS 3 WEEKS). SINGING STARE WILL BE ALTERNATE WEEKS AS USUAL.

Because the Parkmore people will be off-premises this weekend, there will be staffing changes to your rehearsal sessions. Please see below:-

Here are Janie and Hannah posing against the backdrop at Kitty Bartlett`s `Young Performer`party last Saturday. This is the new style of party that we are trialling.

And here is poor unsuspecting Brian who got posed in front of the backdrop when he came to sort out all the furniture at the end of the party.  We couldn`t waste that tie Brian!

Both groups of Further Stages are pitched in battle against each other to raise the most amount of money for charity.  They are each producing separate versions of  a murder mystery show called `Murder at the Cabaret`.  One group performs at the very prestigious Parkmore Hotel in Eaglescliffe on Sunday evening 29th January at 7pm for 7.30pm. The ticket price includes a three course meal and coffee for an inclusive price of £24.95 per head. Tickets have to be booked and paid for directly to the hotel - RING 01642 786 815

The second group is staging their death of Fifi Lamarr at the Dickens Inn  in Middlesbrough. Again a meal is included with the ticket price - this time a 2 course buffet meal, with an inclusive ticket price of £12 per head. Tickets are available to book by e mailing  MURDER.MYSTERY.BLOODY.FIFI@LIVE.co.uk. It is on Sunday 5th February starting at 7pm.

Both events are offering a bottle of champagne to the table that most successfully solves the mystery.
