The Bugs Are Here!
After seven years of singing, dancing and acting their socks off in South West London Theatrebugs has finally arrived in South East London and Kent. And what better way to kick start the fun than a Olympic themed summer holiday workshop?! This summer the Bugs come to Beckenham, Herne Hill and West Wickham for five fun filled days of “The Animal Games” a workshop all about a mouse called Squeaker who really wants to enter the Games but is just not sure if he is good enough. The five day summer course costs £120 and is designed for 3.5 to 8 year olds. They have sold out in South West London for the past five years and look set to do the same here! To celebrate their arrival in the South East Theatrebugs is offering £20 off their course for all Grapevine readers if booked before July 6th, just quote “grapevinebug” when booking! “Our courses are all about fun!” says Kristyanne Stanley, co-founder of Theatrebugs and Kent resident “We know that the majority of mums want their children to take part in a fun activity that will help them make friends and boost their confidence, we do exactly that! We are not a stage school, we don’t want to create mini stars: we allow children to just be children, have lots of fun and have lots to show for it too, like increased confidence, self-esteem and maybe even some new friends!” We asked a South West London mum what the verdict was on a recent Theatrebugs course she attended ““We really loved the show on the last day and the whole experience was very positive!” says Nadine from Barnes “My daughter Nelly absolutely loved it and spoke really fondly of her teachers. I, and the other parents, really appreciated the manner in which the team spoke to children and treated them- it made me feel 100% comfortable leaving Nelly with them!” If you like the sound of that why not give the Bug Hotline a call to find out more on 0800 975 5290 or book online at http://theatrebugs.co.uk/londonandhomecounties.html
And don’t forget to quote “grapevinebug” to claim your £20 off voucher- but hurry! Offer expires July 6th!
