SUMMER PROJECT 2010

16 - 21 August 2010

TOMBSTONES

a new musical by Tim J Spencer

Imagine if a Student’s Union bar was built on a graveyard. Imagine a family of zombies lived in the old crypt beneath the union. Would the students even know? Would the zombies even be obvious, would they just blend in?

And what if one of them fell for a student? What then?

The Tombstones  is a cross between Grease, Little Shop of Horrors and The Munsters.

Full of fun, but with an edge, and the conflict of the past with the new.

Our summer musical theatre project will take place from 16 – 21 August.

From Monday to Friday we will work from 10.00 – 5.00 (participants may arrive earlier by negotiation).  On Saturday we start later – at 1.00 p.m.  and the weeke ends with a performance on the Saturday evening.

The participants are expected to bring a packed lunch, and will be supervised throughout.  The aim is to have a fun holiday week, with a purpose.  Experience of musical theatre is not necessary – enthusiasm and a sense of humour is helpful!  It is an intensive week. 

The leaders of the course – Amanda Laidler and Andrew Holtom are both registered theatre chaperones and have extensive experience of directing and teaching young people.  Please see attached information.  Together they lead Young Rogues and Vagabonds, a musical theatre company for young people, which meets in Stratford on most Friday evenings.  They have both worked for several years on the Hadland School of Dance Summer School (and will be doing so again from 19 - 13 August).

The cost for the week is £125.00 for the first child.  There will be a £10 reduction for each other sibling.   This includes squash, biscuits, and two tickets for  the performance. 

A non-refundable deposit of £25 is payable on application and the balance is payable by Monday 16^th August 2010.
