MORE CHRISTMAS TRIPS!

Thank you for booking tickets to the panto - to date an astonishing 240 of us are going - by far our biggest trip ever! 

Just want to alert Rosendale Theatre Club to two more festive trips coming up - this time to the fantastic Unicorn Theatre in London Bridge. Letters went out in book bags on Friday but just in case you missed them they are:

Trip to the Nutcracker and The Mouse King–KS2 children (recommended age 8 plus)

Sunday 23^rd November 2pm

This Christmas the Unicorn goes back to the roots of E.T.A. Hoffman's magical story to create this wondrous and festive production of an old and favourite title. It's Christmas Eve, 1805. Seven year-old Marie retrieves the sad and broken Nutcracker from under the Christmas tree and promises to look after him. But on the stroke of midnight he comes alive, and after enlisting Marie’s help in his battle with the evil Mouse King, they journey together through strange and fantastical stories until they finally arrive in a secret land made of nothing but candy. Full of magic, mice and adventure, this will be a Christmas show to remember.

The play is aimed at children in Key Stage 2 (recommended ages eight up). The ticket price (discounted for schools) is an incredible bargain at £7.50 (normal price children £15 adults £22). There are just 75 tickets available on a first come first served basis. 

Cinderella, our trip to their Christmas show last year, was brilliant - don't miss out!

Trip to the The Fourth Wise Man (recommended age reception-Y2)

Sunday 30^rd November 1.45pm

Everyone has heard of the Three Wise Men, but have you heard of Artaban, the fourth? One day Artaban, the wisest of them all, spots a beautiful new star in the sky. It's the biggest and brightest star he has ever seen, and he knows it will lead him to something special. A special baby in fact, so special that everything (and that means everything) must be perfect. Join Artaban as he prepares for a momentous journey. But what should he wear? What gift should he bring? And where on earth will he find the right camel? A funny and heart-warming show about one man and an elusive camel that will leave audiences with a decidedly Christmassy glow.

The play is aimed at children in reception and Key Stage 1 (recommended ages reception up). The ticket price (discounted for schools) is an incredible bargain at £7.50 (normal price children £10- adults 16). There are just 50 tickets available on a first come first served basis. 

The deadline for payment is this Friday 26th September - either by cheque to Rosendale PTA, cash or online. Unlike the panto these seat allocations are fixed - we can definitely have no more than 50 for The Fourth Wise Man so get in quick!

Looking forward to seeing those who booked at our KS1 trip to The Secret Life of Suitcases at The Unicorn tomorrow. 

GREENWICH THEATRE PANTO - DON'T MISS OUT!

We hope you had a great summer holiday! 

Thank you to everyone who booked tickets for The Secret Life of Suitcases on 12th September and How Nigeria Became on 12th October at The Unicorn Theatre. Seat confirmations have now been emailed out for these shows and we are looking forward to seeing you there!

If you didn't get chance to book these shows last term don't worry - we have lots more great shows coming up this year.

And on to the first one. One of the highlights of last year was the Xmas trip to the brilliant Greenwich Theatre Panto - we all had a fantastic night and are still singing the songs!  We are really excited to offer you another trip to see this year's show Jack and the Beanstalk on Saturday 6^th December at 7pm. Based on last year, we would urge you not to miss out on this show. 

The play is aimed at all the family from reception age up. By exclusive arrangement, Theatre Club has 200 tickets (increased this week from 100 due to demand) at the incredible bargain price of just £10.50 each (normal price £13.50 children and £27 adults) available on a first come first served basis.  

Andrew Pollard returns to Greenwich with yet another all-singing, all-dancing pantomime spectacular!

With Giant Bonecrunch raising taxes yet again, and his wicked Henchman making sure everyone pays up, times are hard for Jack and his Fairy. Can an old cow, a bag of beans and a visit from a mysterious fairy really save the day?

Greenwich... one of the best pantos in the country

British Theatre Guide

Greenwich has once again created one of the best pantomimes in the country. Fresh, fun and fruity, pantomime doesn’t get much better than this… more enjoyable than Christmas Day itself...

British Theatre Guide

No frills, no celebs, just plenty of top notch larks from the Greenwich Theatre's ever enjoyable festive blow-out.

Time Out Critics Choice 2010

Cracking storyline, a witty script, a foot-tapping soundtrack and a cast whose ensemble talent and energy rival any West End production... Panto perfection

Greenwich Visitor

Boy are there some knock-out numbers in this show... for tips on how a panto should be done, producers would do well to look to Greenwich Theatre... a faultless and unmissable joy which is guaranteed to grant all your panto wishes.
