Exciting news! As you may
have heard Rosendale Primary is participating in the Shakespeare Schools
Festival, the UK’s largest youth drama festival (www.ssf.uk.com). This
fantastic nationwide event gives children in Y4 upwards the chance to perform
Shakespeare live on a real stage and supports them every step of the way. There
are 1000 schools performing this year – and for the first time Rosendale is one
of them. Tickets are now on sale for our chosen play - A Midsummer Night’s Dream! And the marketing team have been busy putting up posters!
The show will
take place at 7pm at the Secombe Theatre
in Sutton on Monday 11th November. Tickets are £8.50 adults and
£6.50 children. You can purchase tickets directly from the box office up to the
day of the performance (subject to availability) by calling 0208 770 6990 or
online at www.suttontheatres.co.uk
However! We have reserved 100 tickets at the bargain
price of £6 (adults and children) until
Monday 7th October. Letters will go out in book bags shortly. If you would like us to buy tickets for you
at this price and sit with other Rosendale parents and children, please
complete the slip on the letters and hand it to the office with payment NO LATER than Monday 7th October
(preferably by cheque to Rosendale Primary School). Please ensure the envelope
is clearly marked F/A LISA STATHAM, THEATRE CLUB – SSF to ensure I receive it.
As there are four schools performing and only 290 seats available, we would
encourage all parents, friends and family to buy tickets ASAP to avoid
disappointment. Come along and support the children and the school!
Children attending the play must be accompanied by an
adult with up to four children per adult. The accompanying adult is soley responsible for the safety and well
being of the children under his/her care. Please note that both adults and
children do need to have a ticket.
We would love as many children as possible to come and
enjoy the show. If cost is an issue for you, please contact
rosendaletheatreclub@gmail.com as we may be able to offer financial support. NB
All such enquiries will be treated confidentially.
The Shakespeare Schools
Festival is a charity and its role is to heavily subsidise and support schools
to participate in the festival. Ticket sales are a major source of their
funding so please spread the word and get as many people (family, friends,
school staff) as possible to come along. We look forward to seeing you on the
night!
