Aspiring young thespians from Staffordshire will be heading to Neverland this summer with a sprinkling of fairy dust.
May saw over 120 young people take part in an audition workshop day for just 80 places for the Stafford Gatehouse Summer School, which started on Monday 23 July 2012.
The group are working alongside professionals including director Elizabeth Rose; associate director Richard Poynton; musical director Michael Cotton; and choreographer, Verity Bray to produce a full-scale show, which will be performed at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre on the main stage.
In addition to rehearsing the show, the lucky youngsters are also taking part in workshops covering all they need to know about the theatrical world.
This year’s Summer School will see the children work towards a production of the children’s classic Peter Pan, which will be performed from Wednesday 8 – Saturday 11 August 2012.
Join Wendy, John and Michael Darling as they are whisked away by Peter Pan to the exciting and magical world of Neverland.
Filled with Pirates, Mermaids and fairies, Neverland is the place where children need never grow up. But as the Darling children begin to enjoy their new home, disaster strikes as Captain Hook comes out to play. Will Peter and Tinkerbell be able to save Wendy and her brothers from the clutches of Hook and free Neverland of the evil villain?
This family friendly show will provide a magical and enchanting afternoon or evening treat for children during their summer holidays and offers a unique opportunity for children to see other children performing.
Tickets cost £9.50 or £8.50 for concessions for the 7.30pm shows and £8.00 and £7.00 for concessions for the 2.30pm matinees on (no matinee on Friday 10th August).
