Sally Wilson from Imaginate has asked me to forward you the following information regarding an opportunity for Parent Councils to work with them to present performances from this year’s Bank of Scotland Imaginate Festival in their school, as part of their continuing commitment to bringing productions from the Festival to local communities.

This year they would like to involve a selection of Primary schools and their Parent Councils from the following local authorities in their community touring programme:
Aberdeenshire
Angus
Highlands

This year, Bank of Scotland has offered to cover the cost of each of these performances, to offer them free of charge to Parent Councils, to support them in the creation of an exciting community event, while generating funds from ticket sales.
This year’s production is available for evening bookings from Monday 16 – Friday 20 May and from Monday 23 May – Wednesday 26 May 2011:
