I'm pleased to announce that our Junior department will perform Annie at the Phoenix Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday July 10th and 11th, 2013. We have reched an agreement with Josef Weinberg, the musical's licencees, to embark on this exciting production. The Showkit has arrived and Mrs. Johnson is busy casting the parts and rehearsals will commence imminently.
Tickets for the two productions will be available at the beginning of next half term and a ticket order form will be distributed by pupil post early on in June.
The production costs for this particular musical are considerably higher than those of our previous productions. We have paid £420 to Josef Weinberg for the licence and they are also entitled to a percentage of the ticket sales. With the Phoenix hire and others scenary and audio costs we will be looking to seek alternative forms of fund raising so that we can break even. I would appreciate any ideas of how we can look for outside help to finance this project. As you can appreciate, our main objective in enebling these productions to take place is to give the pupils the opportunity to perform in a Theatre with a "professional" way that will hopefully give the pupils the type of experience which makes them want to join local theatre groups or continue with pereforming at Treorchy Comprehensive School.
