The programme is supported by Aiming High and delivered by WLCT on behalf of Cannock Chase Council, and aims to enhance social skills and personal development, increase confidence and raise levels of self esteem whilst developing a sense of achievement. The programme also aims to deliver a “healthy lifestyles” message to all children and young people who take part, supporting the governments “Change4Life” campaign.

• Have mental health issues

• Are from families who receive income benefits

Prince of Wales centre“SEUSSICAL” - SUMMER WORKSHOP & PERFORMANCE

Ambient Night Productions and the Prince of Wales Centre are teaming up to offer young performers aged 7-18 the chance to workshop and then perform in this exciting production of Seussical.

“I can see that you’ve quite a mind for your age!Why, one Think and you dragged me right onto the stage!Now, I’m here, there is no telling me what may ensueWith a Cat such as me, and a Thinker like you!”

So says the mischievous Cat in the Hat at the onset of this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza. Come and meet all your favourite Dr Seuss characters including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and all the Whos of Whoville.

This is a great opportunity for youngsters who are new to performing and those with more experience, to workshop this classic show and then perform it to a live audience. Singing, acting and dancing skills will be taught but a whole lot of fun will be had along the way.

Auditions for principle roles will take place on Saturday 3rd August from 10.00 - 2.00. Bring along a song you know on ipod or CD. But if you just want to be a part of the chorus then no audition is needed and there is still lots to do.
