Something’s coming . . . something good
 All profits will go towards our campaign to build and run a second children’s hospice for Scotland. The cast will be supported by Scottish Ballet, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and Scottish Opera.
Top drama schools
The performers are aged between 16 and 18.
Many have places waiting for them at the top drama schools across Britain and it is clear why they have been chosen out of thousands of youngsters who dream of a life on the stage.
The full price of the ticket goes to our CHAS appeal with the professionals involved, such as the Scottish Ballet, the orchestra and four adult cast members, taking no money for their contribution.
Graham Dickie, the school’s acting director, said, “Knightswood Secondary School and the Dance School of Scotland have adopted CHAS, as we believe deeply in what they do. I went to Rachel House and saw for myself the good work the hospice does and the happiness it brings.”
All the cast are excited about performing the roles again after a successful run at the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow in May.
Enthusiastic
Daniel Haslam, who plays Tony, said that as he lives close to Rachel House in Kinross he is delighted to support the hospice appeal, and hopes they can raise as much money as possible for the cause.
Julie Castro, who plays Maria and Amy McLeod, who plays Anita, are going to the Italia Conti Stage School in London later this year and are very enthusiastic about this special performance next weekend.
There will be a tight schedule when the company head to Pitlochry. With only a day to organise the set and have dress rehearsals, the students will be living on adrenaline.
Graham says it will be a fantastic experience for the students, as they will have to remain professional and focused all day.
If the performance at the Citizens Theatre is anything to go by, next Sunday will be a real treat. The kids manage to achieve a level of professionalism which makes you forget how young these performers really are.
Sybil Simpson, Head Teacher of Knightswood Secondary School speaks with pride about her students, saying, “I get all choked up when they’re performing. They’re all such good students and this production has been so well orchestrated, we couldn’t have wished for more.”
Tickets, priced from £15.50, are going well, but there are still some available. To book, phone Pitlochry Festival Theatre Box Office on 01796 484 626. |
