I am keeping my fingers crossed and fervently praying it will not happen this year. Just take a look at the picture and you will see what I am on about.
We travel over 30,000 miles every year to bring live theatre to schools and many other venues: as far north as Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester, and on occasion for a 9.15 start.
You do not want to know the time we get up to achieve this, but trust me you are all warmly tucked up in bed.
So far, so good, we have survived November and December and, if you can believe the pundits, January is looking okay. We shall see!
Enough about the problems, let us look on the bright side. Talking of which, we have already started taking a good many bookings for 2013, including a couple of early birthday parties.
Last year, the obsessions were quite understandably the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic Games. I am sure this year will see a return to mainstream education and, if I am correct, we have all the plays and workshops lined up.
Don't forget, in addition to our substantial repertoire of established productions, we are also offering "themed" workshops of your choosing. Just give us a call or send an email saying what you are seeking, and I will happily create a package to suit you.
Enough of the sales pitch.
Until next time stay warm,
Albert
