NEWS & COMMENT

01/09/2010
BITESIZE Youth Theatre PATRON ............DAVE WILLETTS
WINTER TERM starts on TUESDAY 7th SEPTEMBER
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
Well done to Liam, Adam, Cerys, Victoria, Mary, Megan & Moli who have secured agent Richard Kort Associates to represent them for
professional Film, TV and Theatre work and have already attended castings for a TV Film and a new McDonald's advert.
Megan and Caitlin have been in London's West End during Theatre Kids Week and were amongst 20 youngsters who were chosen
to participate in a workshop at the Novello Theatre with Tap Dogs star Adam Garcia. The girls enjoyed a backstage tour and tap
dancing class. They then had the opportunity to perform one of the tap routines (Drum Beat) from the show with Adam. In the
evening they also had front row seats (and a plastic mac) to watch the show. The following day the got to do it all again, but this
time with the cast of the Jersey Boys.
A huge "Well Done and Good Luck" to Victoria Lewis who is currently playing the lead role of Annie in the national tour alongside Su Pollard
and David McAllister which had it's opening night at the Bradford Alhambra Theatre on 24th August. Later in the tour she will be joined by 17 of
her friends from Bitesize, when they play the Orphans at Shrewsbury's Severn Theatre and at the Regent Theatre in Stoke. Company
Rehearsal Director Elysia visited Bitesize on 31st August and 1st September for intensive rehearsals for this year's intake.
Annie is at Shrewsbury on the 11th -16th October and at Stoke on the 26th - 30th October.
A group of 28 singers from Bitesize will perform alongside Classic FM's new 4 Tenors group BLAKE when they visit Rhyl Paviilion on
September 24th as part of their UK tour. Bitesize will join BLAKE in performances of "Nessun Dorma", "Jerusalem" and "Hallelujah".
Congratulations to Cerys who has been chosen to sing in concert with West End Star Lydia Griffiths when she and other stars perform at Glyndwr
University's William Aston Hall on September 25th.
NEW TERM
New Intake for BTEC Performing Arts.
Following a 100% pass rate in our first year of running BTEC, Bitesize are now enrolling students aged 13 to Adults for their intensive 12 month courses
leading to a qualification equivalent to 4 GCSE's. All of the coursework is undertaken outside of normal school hours and so can add 4 GCSE's to your
study of academic subjects in school.
RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET (by Bob Carlton)
This year's BIG SHOW will be "Return to the Forbidden Planet". Return to the Forbidden Planet is a Jukebox musical by director Bob Carlton based on Shakespeare's The Tempest and the 1950s science fiction film Forbidden Planet (which itself drew its plot loosely from The Tempest), so should appeal to Rockers and Trekies and lovers of Shakespeare ? It will be on in the GROUNDLINGS THEATRE over February half term (21-26th February 2011)
The plot follows the crew of a routine survey flight under the command of Captain Tempest. Their spaceship is drawn mysteriously to the planet D'Illyria where mad scientist Doctor Prospero and his lovely daughter Miranda are marooned.
The high energy show features a bevy of 1950s and 1960s rock and roll classics. Featuring songs such as 'Good Vibrations', 'Shake, Rattle n Roll', 'Monster Mash' and 'Great Balls of Fire' it is sure to have audiences rocking in the aisles!
Auditions for the show will take place on 26th September... 2pm for Chorus and 3.30 for principals.
BITESIZE SINGING FESTIVAL --Sunday 3rd October.
Sunday 3rd October sees this year's Annual Bitesize Singing Festival. A wide range of categories from pop to musical theatre with a guest adjudicator. Entry forms are available from staff
