Performing Arts Trip to London

A number of places are available for the Performing Arts annual trip to London. The trip will take place from the 17th-19th June 2013. The trip involves going to top West End shows, including Wicked, west end workshops with top performers, sightseeing, shopping and we are hoping to secure tickets to the Harry Potter studio tour. If there are any pupils in S3-S6 who would be interested in participating in the exciting opportunity, they should see Mrs Gray in Drama as soon as possible. Places are limited and will be offered on a first come first serve basis. Pupils do not necessarily need to currently be studying Music or Drama.

Thanks

Mrs Gray
