SPACE, Hall for Cornwall’s adult acting company makes its performance debut at The Acorn in Penzance next week with Arthur Miller’s tense and thought-provoking play The Crucible. As a first outing, the company have not shied away from a play that is packed with tense scenes and high drama. The questions raised by The Crucible, about how society can turn on itself when one group is targeted and labelled dangerous remain very much relevant in the post 9/11 era.
The Crucible will be performed on the 4th and 5th July at 7.30pm. Tickets cost just £10 (£6 Concessions) and can be booked HERE or by calling Box Office on 01872 262466.
Our junior acting company, Upstage, follow quickly on their heels with a lively production of “The Wizard of Oz” at the Burrell Theatre, Truro on July 16th. Tickets cost £6 (£5 Concessions) and can be booked HERE or by phoning Box Office.
The above productions have gone through quite a bit of planning and rehearsal over the last few months – but if you’re up for a fresh challenge this summer (or you have children who need a challenge) then “Mummy Mia” is for you! We’re offering a group of young people the chance to stage a musical – in a week! Between the 9th and 12th August from 10am to 2.30pm, children can attend daily sessions at Hall for Cornwall culminating in a performance of a brilliant brand new musical for children about life in Ancient Egypt. Details and information on how to book can be found HERE
For slightly older young people (15 – 18 yrs) we have “Theatre Storm”, a series of drama workshops covering improvisation, acting skills, directing and stage management. These sessions take place between the 9th and 12th August in the afternoon from 3pm to 5.30pm. Details of how to book will be added here early next week.
Activity is not confined to our Creative Learning department, however! Between the 5th and 7th August, an energetic family show explodes onto the HfC stage in the form of The Go!Go!Go! Show. This fun-filled pop musical is great family summer entertainment with magic, dance and plenty of participation from the children in the audience.
The stars of the show visited a number of schools in Cornwall this week, previewing a couple of the songs and teaching the children some dance and “Ichi Oo” moves that certainly livened up the morning assembley! Images from Bosvigo and Grampound Road schools.
Tickets for the Go!Go!Go! show can be bought online HERE.
