NEWS AND EVENTS
Dear friends,
This is a very difficult letter for us to write but as you may be aware, the current news regarding Covid-19 and the closure of schools has meant that we must also temporarily close our doors too as of Saturday 21st March. This is an incredibly sad thing for us to have to do but health is far more important.
BUT DO NOT FEAR! We shall be continuing to provide our classes in a live online format! During all of our normal class times we shall be running fb live classes via our Facebook page (Act II Theatre Company). These can be accessed by liking our Facebook page (please note, children do NOT need their own fb profile to join in as long as they have access to a parent’s). They shall follow the timetable set out below (essentially, the normal class times, with a few slight amendments):
Pint-Sized Players: Tuesdays 4:30pm-6:00pm
Drama: Wednesdays 4:30pm-6:00pm
Choir: Wednesdays 6:10pm-7:10pm
Music Theatre Junior and Senior: Thursdays 4:30pm-6:00pm
Imagination Station: Fridays 4:00pm-5:00pm
Advanced Skills: Fridays 5:30pm-7:00pm
Mini Musical Junior: Saturdays 9:30am-11:00am
Mini Musical Senior: Saturdays 11:30am-1:00pm
Anyone (current and past members, and their families, and new friends to the Act II family!) can tune in to these interactive, fun sessions to keep the Act II family united. We have lots of exciting things planned for them, and they will be starting with Mini Musical Junior and Senior on Sat 21st March! In the interests of data protection, these will be deleted straight after broadcast.
Many of you have offered continued payment for these, if you would like to do this, please contact us for our BACS details.
We do understand this is a time of financial uncertainty for so many of us though. If you are unable to pay or cannot pay the full amount, please don’t feel you need to exclude from these classes.
For Acting and Singing classes, we shall be continuing to run classes via Zoom – a free video conferencing website which is simple to sign up to and use. For members of these classes we need an email address of a parent and will send full details of exactly how these will run (and the timetable) in the next couple of days.
The following performances are postponed (we will definitely put them all on at some point but currently cannot say when):
IMAGINATION STATION – ’The Ugly Duckling’
DRAMA – ’Brainstorm
MUSIC THEATRE JR and SR – ’Legally Blonde’
Pint-Sized Players performance of ’The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ may need to be postponed also.
We have been completely overwhelmed by so many messages of love and support for Act II and pledges to continue class payment to ensure the company’s continued existence. We feel very humbled by it all. We WILL come through this and out the other side and your support means the world to us. Thank you.
If there are any members and their families who you know that may not be up to date with what we are doing at this time, please put them in touch with us. Similarly, if you are not Facebook users and do not intend to join the platform, please email us on the address below and we will then be able to keep you up to date on further developments.
Please feel free to email us with any questions you have, either via our fb page or on:
