KNOCK KNOCK...

Leas Cliff Hall was delighted to be Door 22 in Folkestone’s Living Advent Calendar, a 24-day free festival of music, drama, opera, storytelling, puppetry and fun, organised by Jim Jam Arts. At 6pm each day from 1 – 24 December, a beautifully decorated door in the town opened to reveal a surprise live performance and, on 22 December, the cast from our panto, Cinderella, provided the perfect Christmas treat for families. A fundraising collection ensured that local charities benefited too.

The enchanting world of Sarah and Duck is brought to life in a brand-new stage show, featuring the wonderful characters from the BAFTA award-winning CBeebies show.

Join Sarah and Duck and a host of your favourite friends including The Ribbon Sisters, The Shallots, Flamingo & John and Umbrella, as they plan a birthday party for Scarf Lady in their garden.

GRUMPY OLD WOMEN TO THE RESCUE

Fed up with flogging their guts out and always having to be in charge, the Grumpy Old Women – Jenny Eclair, Dillie Keane and Lizzie Roper – have put their knobbly old feet up in glorious retirement, free at last to practise their extreme colouring-in, ukelele orchestra and novelty fudge-making.

Told through a fantastic blend of puppetry, storytelling and music, Sarah and Duck’s Big Top Birthday will take you and your children on a magical adventure.

FOLKESTONE FILM, TV AND COMIC CONVENTION

He’s back! It’s been a busy few years for Jason since his last smash-hit stand-up show but fans of his Absolute Radio show will know this nationally acclaimed comedian hasn’t changed a bit. Muddle Class promises to feature a wealth of new material about Jason growing up ‘working class’ then finding, over the years, that part of him has become ‘middle class’ – causing much confusion! Delivered with Jason’s amiable charm and captivating wit, this is a show not to be missed. ★★★★ ‘EFFORTLESSLY ENTERTAINING’ – Evening Standard

CREATIVE LEARNING

THINK FORWARD As part of a collaboration with charity Think Forward, which exists to provide successful school to work transitions for disengaged young people, we hosted a visit from 28 students aged 14-15 years, from across the whole of Kent. They had a full tour of the venue, heard all about life in the theatre and the various roles that are essential to its operation. We hope to continue this partnership as it provides an insight into an industry that may otherwise be excluded from these young people.

‘St Mary’s Church of England Primary Academy’s partnership with Leas Cliff Hall provides our children with a unique opportunity to perform in a professional theatre, and develop an understanding of the arts that just wouldn’t be possible in a classroom environment.’ – Charlie Tanner, Year 4 teacher

Creative learning is at the heart of what we do and provides opportunities for all ages. A small taste of what we offer includes backstage tours, apprenticeships, school workshops, work experience, college placements and community projects, to allow local people to engage creatively with the arts.

A P R I L – J U LY 2 0 1 8

We are in the process of sifting through the many applications we have had for work experience and are looking forward to welcoming students to the Leas Cliff Hall throughout the year. We would like to say a special well done and welcome to Lizzie Brohan. We first met Lizzie in 2017 when she approached the theatre, asking about the possibility of undertaking work experience with our technical team. Lizzie joined us on work experience in June 2017 and has proven herself to be a very capable technician who fitted in perfectly; as a result, Lizzie has now joined our technical team.

If you are interested in a work experience placement with us, please contact us.

SUMMER PROJECT

Perform. Enjoy.

WORK EXPERIENCE

This summer, the Kidz on Stage youth project will be Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

This two week summer drama project offers the opportunity to get involved with a large stage production, either as a performer or backstage, and is a great way to find out more about theatre. The project culminates in four performances from 23 – 25 August.

Auditions take place on Sun 3 June from 10am. If your child only wishes to be part of the chorus and not a principal character, they do not need to audition to take part in the two week project, but we do encourage all children to audition if possible.
