If any Stage Plus student's require new festival dances or there are some additional students that would like to start participating in our festivals please come and see me!
Our next Festival for new entries is Chesham in February.
As a school we aim to do a show with the whole school every year to 18 months, which includes everyone from the tiny tots up to adults and always has the WOW Factor!
Our Next Show is on Saturday 5th November 2011
at the Elgiva Theatre, Chesham
On June 12th 2010 Stage Plus went 'Through the Ages'
This was a great opportunity for all the students to get involved in an amazing performance showing the family, friends and the local community just what we are made of!!
Last Year we went 'Around the World' on Sunday 2nd November 2008. It was a great success and i had such lovely feedback. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!
Our students also get the opportunity to work with Risborough Youth Theatre in their annual production such as the past shows of Honk, Bugsy Malone, Oliver and 2009's Oklahoma.
We run numerous workshops throughout the year where students get the opportunity to put a show together in a short space of time or work with other teachers and performers.
'Showbiz' is our 2 Week Summer Workshop held at the end of August every year.
We also do a workshop in the half term before our full school show. Therefore this time it will be held in October Half Term 2011.
We also do day workshops throughout the year for varying aspects of the Performing Arts getting in outside teachers and performers.
Our students get the opportunity to audition for local pantos each year if they so choose.
Once again in 2009 we had an 100% success rate in the pantomime auditions with Eleanor Buxton, Emily Nix and Zoe Ashton all participating!
Unfortunately in 2010 the Aylesbury Panto had closed auditions allowing only one school to get involved in this great opportunity.
Every year we are offered the opportunity to perform and participate in many different town engagements. The Risborough Town Festival in the summer and the turning on of the Christmas Lights are just two of the places Stage Plus has shown our face.
Since 2007 we have been invited each year to perform at Risborough Town Festival and Chinnor Fete around June/July time. In 2009 we were approached to perform at quitye a few others.
