Matilda will be the culmination of work by Rushey Mead's Arts Award class in year 9. For their award, students have had the opportunity to see the show at the west end, have a workshop with the Royal Shakespeare Company and even have a skype call with Dennis Kelly, the man behind the hit production.
Students have taken on roles such as actors, dancers, assistant directors, stage assistants and technicians, working in both class based workshops and after school rehearsals.
Joining them on stage, is Rushey Mead Academy's Music Scholars, who form the Academy's first ever orchestra in the schools long history. Forming the backbone of the music for the production, the Scholars have been routinely practising in and out of school, attending after school Orchestra rehearsals and rehearsing in their weekly Music lesson.
We would like to invite staff, students and their families to see the show on 14th June, 7pm-8pm.
Tickets cost : £3.50 for Adults, £2.50 for under 16's, £10.00 for a family ticket (2 adults, 2 under 16's).
All money raised through the sale of tickets and programmes will go towards paying for this show and supporting future extra-curricular performances for the direct benefit of students at Rushey Mead Academy.
