It has been a very happy term, starting with LAMDA exams, in which all our students passed with flying colours! We must give a particular shout out to both our Gold Medal students Harry and Louie, who received extremely high distinction marks, for such hard and involved exams! Huge Congratulations, to all our exam students!
Lily M-L took part in the ‘Performing Shakespeare Competition’, a National, Shakespeare Competition by the English Speaking Union, for students aged between 11-14 years and she won this round, placing her in the regional finals, which will take place on the 20th May. Super work! We wish her all the very best for the next round.
We then finished this term, with our ‘Youth Group’ performing the most energetic, pacy and polished performance of ‘Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth’ on the 28th March for ‘The National Theatre CONNECTIONS Festival’! It was an incredibly moving performance and the feedback has been really quite something! So much praise!
What does term 5 hold in store!
Our NT Connections play ‘Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth’ will be performed again on the 19th April at the Trinity Theatre, Tunbridge Wells at 7pm by our excellent youth group. So there is still a chance to see this excellent play if you missed it in March! Come and support our wonderful students in this excellent new play for everyone!
Our Robin group are performing ‘Summer Nights’ on Friday 15th May at the Hippodrome Theatre at 7pm.
