Course Description

This week-long daily course for 8-14 year olds will be working towards a performance of the musical "Space Pirates".  Alongside theatre games which help to develop confidence, concentration, imagination and creativity, each day we will learn the songs, dances and rehearse dialogue from the musical.


There are a number of solo parts in Space Pirates but also group chorus roles, so we can cater to all levels of experience, abilities and confidence.  Our main goal is for the participants to have a great time and make new friends while developing their theatre skills.


Auditions for those who wish to be cast in a solo role will be held on Sunday 28th of January between 10:00 and 13:00. Location to be confirmed to enrolled participants closer to the date.


The course will culminate in a public performance of the show on Friday 16th February at 18:30 in the Salle Polyvalente, Pibrac.


Morning and afternoon break snacks will be provided but participants should bring their own packed lunch each day.


SPACE PIRATES - by Gwynne Watkins,  Betina Hershey and Denver Casado


Pirates! Aliens! Space Travel! Space Pirates tells the story of Gabby, a kid who gets picked on during a school trip to the museum. Everything quickly changes when an alien space ship accidentally beams Gabby and her classmates up to outer space. Things go from bad to worse when the alien space ship is suddenly attacked by SPACE PIRATES! It’s only after this whirlwind space adventure that Gabby becomes comfortable in her own skin, and her classmates appreciate her for who she is.
