Musical Youth Theatre Stafford SET TO PERFO RM ‘DIVINE’ M US IC A L G O D SP E LL

Musical Youth Theatre Stafford (MYTS) are hard at work fine tuning their harmonies and honing their dance moves for the critically acclaimed GODSPELL, which they will perform at the Stafford Gatehouse Theatre this July.

GODSPELL, an eclectic rock musical that is based on the gospel according to Matthew, was written by three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz, who also wrote Wicked, Children of Eden and Pippin. When GODSPELL hit Broadway in 1971, it took the world by storm and has been successfully performed worldwide ever since. It has undergone several revivals and MYTS will be performing the 2012 version injected with contemporary references and dazzling new arrangements, though the musical still features the international hit ‘Day by Day’ as well as well-known songs such as ‘All for the Best’, ‘By my Side’ and ‘Light of the World’.

Their 12th show at the Gatehouse Theatre since the group was founded by Musical Theatre Stafford (then Stafford Operatic Society) in 2007, MYTS are no strangers to the hard work it takes to put on a performance like this. Rehearsing every Friday night during the term and some Sundays, the group are well on their way to having yet another fantastic show to share with Staffordshire audiences. Their current production team, director Hannah Morris and musical director, Laura Foxcroft, have been joined this year by choreographer, Kalvin Lamey. Who has injected a new, contemporary style to GODSPELL and is really challenging the children to push themselves.

audiences at SSPA Events Stafford’s Gotta Sing this February. They also performed at SSPA’s Stafford’s Gotta Dance in May, where they entertained hundreds of parents and children with some of the fantastic choreography from the show, and headlined at Stafford in the World, where they performed two sets from the show to a packed Market Square.

MYTS aims to foster a love of musical theatre, singing, acting, dancing and performing in children between the ages of 8 and 18. Since their inception, MYTS have gone from strength to strength averaging sixty-five to seventy members a year. They perform a fully staged show at the Stafford Gatehouse Theatre each July, bringing shows like Dr Seuss’ Suessical the Musical, Footloose, Les Misérables, andWestside Story to the Stafford stage. The group have won two NODA (National Operatic & Dramatic Association) Awards for Best Youth Musical for their production of Children of Eden in 2011 and Honk! In 2015 and were nominated for the Best Youth Production award for their last two shows, Legally Blonde in 2017 and High School Musical their 2018.

MYTS are currently hard at work putting the finishing touches to their current show, GODSPELL at the Gatehouse Theatre this July, and will be joining the adult society, Musical Theatre Stafford this October, for a joint production of Oliver!

Tickets for GODSPELL are available direct from the Stafford Gatehouse Theatre Box Office on 01785 619080 or online at www.myts.org.uk/godspell.

As well as getting show ready for their five performances at the Stafford Gatehouse Theatre this July, MYTS have already performed extracts from the show on several occasions, performing a medley from GODSPELL at their annual concert as well as delighting

D R E W AT X P E R T R E E S In late 2010 Drew branched away from his tutors and started working as a freelance climber where his reputation spread quickly amongst companies throughout the midlands.

For 3 years as a freelance climber Drew climbed regularly for about 20 different company’s where he trained and shared his experience with younger staff and learned from the more experienced.

In the year 2000, 18 year old Drew Parrott started working for a small local tree surgeon business in it’s first year trading. Over the next five years the business bloomed and so did Drew’s passion for trees, developing skills and techniques for working at heights.

In mid 2005 Drew made a decision that took him to the position of team leader and overall lead climber at a much bigger company with good credentials and a high standard of work, here is where Drew’s skills and techniques were nurtured, his attention to detail and artistic nature were put to good use, and he also spent time taking further qualifications.

With a thirst for knowledge and experience Drew found himself heading for warmer climates on the French Riviera, working alongside a friend and mentor, learning styles of pruning rarely seen in the uk and taking hints on how to improve on his current techniques.

From the warm Riviera Drew took a complete U turn and headed north to the beautiful wilderness of Scandinavia working on government projects throughout Sweden, from city centre,schools, infrastructure and forests. This became Drew’s playground, everything he’d learned his entire career was pushed, tried and tested on a daily basis.

Scandinavia was a huge learning curve. Discipline, planning, organisation, job management and sheer determination to get the job done whatever the circumstances, even through winter temperatures of -26c. Today Drew is offering to you his entire knowledge and skills in Xpertrees.

Rosemary Hale’s Art Group A RT E X HIB IT IO N

Rosemary Hale’s Art Groups will be holding an art event at Derrington Village Hall throughout the weekend of 26th /27th.

October 2019, 10am to 4pm.

Admission and car parking is free and home-made refreshments plus paintings and greetings cards for sale and a chocolate tombola.

As well as an exhibition of excellent art work produced by the groups there will also be regular free painting demonstrations by professional tutor Rosemary at 11am and 2pm. The afternoon demonstrations will be particularly pitched to interest those new to painting as a new event this year. In addition to the step-by-step demonstration that Rosemary will do, she will also have illustrated painting notes and art materials for sale.

Rosemary is an experienced art tutor who teaches a variety of mediums, subjects and styles of artwork. She strongly believes that watching is a great way of learning and so painting demonstrations feature in most lessons. There is at least one structured project each term, plus more experienced painters are encouraged to paint their own subjects in their own style.

There are four weekly art classes currently running at Derrington on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In addition, Rosemary also tutors a group in her home village of Foxt in North Staffordshire. All are welcome at her classes, no experience is required…just an enthusiasm for painting and a willingness to learn.

National Trust Staffordshire Centre

The National Trust Staffordshire Centre held their 46th AGM last month and were able to report another successful fund raising year for the group. Over the past six years alone, the Centre has raised £22,000 for the Trust, with over £11,000 going to Shugborough over the last three years.

If you would like to find out more about what the Centre has to offer and how you could get even more from your membership of the National Trust, contact our membership secretary, Joan Jobling at jjobling@uwclub.net

This year, the Centre is starting a three year sponsorship of the new second hand bookshop at Shugborough, as well as contributing to the restoration of the walled garden.

An innovation being introduced this year is a programme of free events at Shugborough, exclusively for members of the Centre. The first two were announced at the meeting and were an immediate success. These are in addition to the normal programme of walks, talks and visits that help members and their friends to gain maximum benefit from their Trust membership.

At the meeting a cheque for £3,500 for the Shugborough Estate was presented to Hayley Mival – Area General Manager and was followed by an illuminating presentation by Alison Minshull – Consultancy Manager for the Trust – on the role of supporter groups in the Trust.

We are specialists in installing loft ladders and hatches.

We also supply and install loft boarding, lighting and insulation – to help you to escape all that clutter (and avoid the summer time blues of doing it yourself!)

Soroptimist International Stafford RNLI PANJ I P RO JECT - S WI M TO S AVE A L I F E

Members of Soroptimist International of Stafford organized a sponsored walk, around the village of Coppenhall and raised £139 for charity.

The event was a great success, fresh air, exercise, good company and delicious food (including tea and cake) at the end of the day.

The charity to benefit is The Panji Project in Zanzibar, one of the RNLI’s International Aquatic Survival schemes.

24

The project aims to teach girls to swim and encourage them to go on to be a swimming instructor and a life saving coach.

Photograph L to R - Terry Mingay, Heather Stern, Judith Carder (president Stafford club) and Sue Zurawie

Until recently girls were not taught to swim, only the boys.

For more information on Soroptimist International www.sigbi.org

The girls want to share their swimming skills with other girls and boys in their village and on their Island, so that everyone can be safe in the water.

Each Year almost 360,000 people die from drowning.

Drowning is the third leading cause of death, worldwide, for children aged 5yrs to 14yrs.

U RG E S YOU NG PEO PLE TO S IGN UP WITH P R IN C E S TRU ST

Young people in Staffordshire who are struggling for direction are being urged to sign up for one of the life-changing programmes run by the Prince’s Trust in partnership with the Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service.

In recent weeks I have seen the incredible, often highly emotional, positive impact the Prince’s Trust scheme run in conjunction with Staffordshire Fire and Rescue has had on the lives of dozens of young people across the county.

The call comes from the Staffordshire Police, Fire and Rescue and Crime Commissioner Matthew Ellis, who witnessed first-hand the impact that Prince’s Trust courses can have at two recent celebration events in Cannock and Stafford.

I strongly urge anyone who feels they – or someone they know – might benefit from the help of the Prince’s Trust to get in touch today. It could change your life.”

The Trust runs regular programmes in the county to help 16-25 year-olds who are unemployed or working for a maximum of 16 hours per week.

More information about the schemes is available through the Prince’s Trust, or email princes.trust@staffordshirefire.gov.uk

Matthew Ellis said: “Life can be a struggle and young people can sometimes need a helping hand if they do not have a clear path in front of them. The Prince’s Trust provides fantastic free courses which build confidence, skills and offer a sense of purpose.
