Act One Performs

July 21, 2010

Alice in Wonderland was performed by Act One Beginners in February at the Chequer Mead in East Grinstead and what a show it was! The performance was absolutely brilliant! The show played to large audiences at every performance. The Queen of Hearts gave a wonderful twist to her version of Thriller and Don’t Stop me Now, and the three Alice actresses Laura, Alex and Lucy were equally adorable and versatile in all their songs and dances!  Their delivery of lengthy scripts was a credit to all the rehearsals they have given so much energy to.

The costumes were beautifully created by a dedicated team of great helpers, the choreography was extraordinary and full of vitality, and the make up team should be applauded on their ability to recreate such fantastic faces time after time!

There are 69 cast members in all, too many to list individually, but they were all absolutely wonderful, fully deserving of the tremendous applause given by all including myself!

Act One Beginners is a part-time drama school which currently runs classes in Copthorne and Felbridge. Since 2003, the school has grown and now runs 10 drama classes with around 200 pupils between the ages 4-19. Through a combination of weekly classes, LAMDA training, festivals and production, the children are encouraged to discover and develop their own talents and self-confidence in a fun and exciting way. Principal, Beverly Hewitt, must be highly commended. For more information on the school, go to www.actonebeginners.co.uk I am very much looking forward to being in the audience for the next performance.
