Me and My Girl
22 images
We had many months of fun creating this stunning production - in fact we laughed so much we wondered how we managed to create a production! Most of our cast learnt to tap dance for the show and all of them learnt how to play the spoons! The result was an excellent production telling the tale of the unapologetic Cockney Bill Snibson, his Cockney Girl, Sally Smith and their encounters with the elite Hareford Family. Thank you to all who helped us create the shows, what an amazing experience the cast all had and their families were quite rightly incredibly proud!

Some of our students were chosen to film a night shoot for the BBC series Bonekickers.

In fact it rained so much that although the children had spent hours in makeup so that they looked burned and scarred - filming was cancelled!

Prison Break is a project raising money and awareness for a number of charities, including The Prison Reform Trust, Amnesty and Clean Break. Our Curtain Up students were chosen to play as criminals or prison warders in the cast.
