HOW MANY SHOWS WILL MY CHILD PERFORM IN?
HOW MANY SHOWS WILL MY CHILD PERFORM IN?
MAIN STAGES
Main Stages students will perform in TWO shows and must attend both performances.
We have two performances due to the size of our Main Stages groups and to help accommodate the number of family and friends wishing to watch the children perform.
FURTHER STAGES
Further Stages students will perform in ONE show.
Please check the schedule carefully to ensure you know which performance(s) your child is involved in.
COSTUMES
COSTUMES
Please note that all costumes are included within your fees.
No additional funds are required for costumes.
There will be no separate costume charge for the production.
More information about costumes will be released throughout the term. As part of the preparation process, we will be collecting students' sizes so that we can ensure costumes are appropriately allocated.
Please keep an eye out for further costume information as rehearsals progress.
SHOW TERM RUNS OVER TWO TERMS
SHOW TERM RUNS OVER TWO TERMS
This is particularly important to understand.
Our Show Term runs across TWO school terms:
September – December
Rehearsals begin in September and continue throughout the Autumn Term.
January – April
Rehearsals then continue throughout the Spring Term, with the production taking place end of Feb early March. The final weeks of term will then be skills focused and packed with fun workshops.
Your child is therefore working towards the production across both terms, rather than this being a one-term project.
WHAT IF MY CHILD CANNOT ATTEND THE PERFORMANCE?
WHAT IF MY CHILD CANNOT ATTEND THE PERFORMANCE?
If your child is unable to attend their allocated show date(s), please let our team know as soon as possible.
It is extremely important that we know in advance so that we can plan the rehearsals and casting accordingly.
Your child can still attend Show Term and take part in rehearsals even if they cannot perform in the final show.
In this situation, your child will be allocated the role of a SWING during rehearsals.
What is a Swing?
What is a Swing?
A Swing is an important role within theatre. Students will be given roles to learn and rehearse and will be able to step into those roles when another student is absent from class or unable to perform.
This means your child’s time will still be used fully and purposefully throughout the rehearsal process.
Being a Swing is a fantastic theatrical skill to develop and is a very important role within professional and touring theatre, where performers need to be prepared to step into different roles at short notice.
So, please be assured that if your child cannot attend the final performance, they will still have an important and valuable part to play throughout the rehearsal process.
However, it is HIGHLY important that we know in advance if your child will not be available for the performance.
IF YOUR CHILD IS LEAVING AT CHRISTMAS
IF YOUR CHILD IS LEAVING AT CHRISTMAS
If your child is planning to leave Stagecoach at Christmas, please let our team know as soon as possible.
This is extremely important because they will not be available to take part in the final production, and we need to factor this into casting and rehearsals from the very beginning.
If you are leaving at Christmas you need to give notice via our policies page please click the button above and read our t&C
PLEASE REMEMBER
PLEASE REMEMBER
Show Term is a two-term commitment, running from September through to the end of April.
Please check your child’s performance date(s) carefully and let us know as early as possible about any known absences or if your child will be leaving at Christmas.
The earlier we know, the better we can plan the production and ensure every student has a valuable role throughout the rehearsal process.
REGULAR CLASSES CONTINUE During SHow Weeks
REGULAR CLASSES CONTINUE During SHow Weeks
Please note that normal classes will continue to run during these two weeks of shows.
Show rehearsals are incorporated into your child’s regular Stagecoach sessions, so please ensure your child continues to attend their usual class each week.
