Welcome back to A to Zee Creativity - the Friday batch is for 8-12 year olds.
We are oversubscribed at the moment.There should be openings in Jan - for any friends! :)
We are planning an exciting end of term show at a few venues:
- Theatre with Shaan Katari Libby : Sleeping Beauty and Harry Potter and the Chamber
of Secrets.The children will act alongside adults who are well-known in the theatre world.
Those wishing to sponsor the rental of the theatre, sound, lights, costumes, sets, - this would help enormously, so that more can go straight to the charity. You can deal directly with the vendors or go through us - whatever is your preference.
Your company name will of course be displayed and you will be thanked in the programme.

We have a show on Thursday Dec 13th at Abacus school at 1.30pm. Abacus is hosting us. Need cars and volunteers please. If anyone cannot make this show pls tell me now - will give letters for schools to give permission to please allow one half day.
We have a show at Freemasons Hall on Sunday Dec 16th at 10am.
Sleeping Beauty costumes are being tailor-made by us - for you to use and return to our costume cupboard.
SCHEDULE THIS WEEK:
Hello,
The CPR course is in the morning tomorrow Saturday (10am-1pm)...then Rehearsal from 2pm-3pm (Sleeping Beauty) and 3pm-5pm (Harry Potter). Thanks to those who sent their contributions and to those who sponsored larger amounts. There are only a few children who still need to pay Rs.1000 towards the show - pls do this tomorrow.
Here is the final week's schedule. Some of the children are still very tentative about their lines and they don't know when to say the lines - please practice with them at home - it has to be quick and tight else there will be awkward pauses on stage - not at all pleasant for anyone. The more thorough they are with lines the more they can enjoy the acting part of it instead of worrying about the next line.
Please put all other activities on the back burner this week - next week as you know we have 3 shows and the children need to rehearse lots this coming week. Even if one child misses a rehearsal it throws the others and makes it a half-baked rehearsal.
Schedule for next week below:
Take care,
Shaan
