Then we have the perfect opportunity for you.
This year’s fantastic family panto at the Byre Theatre is Snow White, written and directed by Gordon Barr, and we’re looking for talented young people to join our company and act alongside our professional cast.
Perhaps you fancy being part of “The Forest Crew” – a bunch of misfit lost boys (and girls) hiding out in the forest, always ready for mischief and determined to help our heroine, Snow White, get her happy ending.
Or maybe you’d like to be part of the all-singing, all-dancing “Mirrorettes” – a girl group full of sass, class and bursting with attitude.
If you would like to be part of the cast of this year’s spectacular Byre Theatre panto, then we’ll be holding auditions on Sunday 9th September between 2p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Byre Theatre.
The young cast will rehearse weekly and during the October half-term before working with the professional cast from 19th to 28th November and then performing from 29th November to 30th December. (Please note this will require successful cast members to be excused from school for some rehearsals and performances)
To sign up for an audition, contact Ashley Foster on 01334 468728 or e-mail ashley.foster@byretheatre.com

The BBC is looking for the best Junior and Senior School Choirs in the land! Each school entering the competition should submit a CD of their choir singing one Christian hymn or worship song, from any published hymnbook, and one other choice that is inspired by or based upon the Christian faith. The best choirs will compete against each other in three special editions of Songs of Praise (two semi-finals and a final), which will be recorded in Liverpool on 9 and 10 March 2013 and broadcast on BBC One next Spring.
So if you think your school choir has got what it takes, check out the BBC website at bbc.co.uk/songsofpraise, where you can find out all about the competition, watch this year’s finalists to see what your choir should be aiming for and download an application form with all of the rules, terms and conditions. The deadline is not until 30 November, but now is the time to plan to take part so that your choir doesn’t miss the chance to be crowned champions!

Schools can take part in this competition to create pictures for a 14-month calendar. The calendar aims to communicate the importance of preparing for emergencies at home, in the community and in the car, and the easy steps that can be taken to do so.
Learners in primary and secondary schools are invited to design a picture that relates to one of the main themes, which have been categorised into topics.
For more information visit the Ready for Emergencies competition page and register today.
Sustrans are asking young people to design a postcard on how 20 mph could improve their street – it could be a picture, a message, a poem or even a slogan. Can you be a two-zero hero and tell us how slower speed limits might change your life? Get creative and win a holiday, bike or even a BMX stunt display!
FCA&C recently held a summer school in collaboration with the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Charitable Trust. Aimed at 5th and 6th year pupils who were hoping to go on shortly to art school, the 2 day event was experienced by 10 pupils from all over Fife. They met 3 practising artists who described their career path to date and also gave them some practical sketching exercises. It was so successful that we hope to make this an annual event. As one pupil commented on leaving “…opened my eyes as to what art college would be like and in fact really
got me excited about going.” You can’t get better than that and we wish them all a lot of success in their future.
