Stagecoach

William Hart of Darlington 9.00am Early Stages Group won a Stagecoach national award recently and I went down to see William presented with his award at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and to collect another award on behalf of Lucie Russell.

Here are the photos I took of Will and then below is a link to Stagecoach.tv to see the video of the award ceremony.

Now see video footage of the awards by clicking on this link:-

James Waine of the 9.15am Darlington Early stages class is the first student to win the platinum award for hard work. He has acumulated enough cards full of stickers to earn his £5 reward. Here he is looking justly proud.

Here are some of the photos that I took of the Darlington Early Stages Party. I`m afraid that I got a fault on the camera before I could finish photographing everyone and I did not get it coreected in time for the Yarm Early Stages party at all, I`m sorry to say.

For those serious about pursuing a career in the Performing Arts, there is a perfect exhibition in March 2012 at Olympia in London

Dance STARE resumes on week 1 of term (8th Jan at Teesside High). The next 2 weeks are Singing STARE with Dance STARE on the 4th week. STARE teaching staff will advise after this.

ITS PANTOMIME TERM  - OH YES IT IS!!

As our theme with Early Stages students this term, we are looking at `pantomime`.  Some students may never have seen a pantomime so to start the ball rolling, we are planning a trip to the pantomime
“Cinderella”  at Darlington Civic Theatre, which has had very good reviews. It stars Jimmy Cricket the comedian and Ray Quinn from X Factor.

I have managed to get a tremendous blanket block booking price of £10.50 per head, regardless of
whether it is an adult or child in the seat. (This is opposed to the £19 - £21 per head that it should usually be)  It is for the 7.00pm performance on Wednesday 11^th January (it finishes at 9.20pm).  The panto season in Darlington finishes this coming Saturday.

Each Stagecoach student would need a single adult to accompany them, but extra people can come too. I have reserved a block of seats and must confirm numbers this Monday and pay for them then also. THIS MEANS THAT ONCE 9am MONDAY MORNING ARRIVES YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR TICKET ORDER AND WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF ANY TICKETS ORDERED, AS I WILL HAVE PAID FOR THEM.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN THE PARTY THEN I MUST HAVE AN E MAIL TO t.hindmarsh15@btinternet.com by the deadline of 8.45am Monday 9^th JAN (to which I will reply) stating the student`s name and how many tickets you require.

Alternatively you may tell me in person but please witness my adding your name to the list. You may also telephone 01325 337667 and leave a message (I will reply to it).
