Bossy Stuff

All children (except Seniors) require BLACK BALLET SHOES , or BLACK PLIMSOLLS for boys, AND BLACK TAP SHOES.

These are available from Dancia in Caversham ( www.dancia.co.uk/reading )

We are also happy to sell on 2nd hand shoes when your children have outgrown them.

COMMITMENT:

While the Theatre Group is a fun thing for your child to do, it must be stressed that we are working towards a production at all times, and this is a team effort. Regular attendance is required so that the children can give of their best and support the cast around them. I believe it is important for children to understand about commitment to a chosen hobby or pursuit. Indeed, showing commitment at this level should be easy, and is extremely rewarding. When they show the audience all they have learnt, they will be proud and elated, and the reward of applause will boost them enormously. They cannot achieve this if they have missed rehearsals too often. I understand during a long term, that 1 or 2 Saturdays will inevitably clash with other family commitments, but hopefully no more than that!

HELP FROM PARENTS:

All parents are expected to help at ONE performance of the Pantomime. A rota is made up for volunteers front of house and backstage - each parent need only help once, but several can and wish to do more.
