KIDZ R US
It all began one nervous December night in the Guildhall,
when a certain artistic spontaneous combustion occurred. There had been no
declared intention to do anything permanent. It was just a one off. That first
ever audiences comprised mainly of apprehensive parents and relatives, hoping
that their kid wouldn't be the one to collide with the scenery, dry up or burst
in to tears, came roaring to its feet at the conclusion, totally amazed at the
unsuspected talent of their off spring. They pleaded to keep the momentum going.
Thus the Kidz R Us theatre company was born. Today it is a formidable cultural
force in the Peninsula, showered with awards nd critical acclaim. The speed and
style of the Kidz progress has been astonishing. Their opening production of
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat won the coveted Minack trophy for
1995. There followed productions of the Will Rogers Follies, Oliver, Bugsey
Malone, Calamity Jane, Annie, Frame, West Side Story, The Wizard of Oz and Jesus
Christ Superstar, plus various concerts with appearances at the London
Palladium. The Royal Albert Hall & Criterion in London's West End squeezed
in! The young performers are aged 7 to older teens with long waiting list.
The stated aim of the Kidz management is to give the local youth a chance to
develop their artistic talents at the same time learning vital lessons.... given
a privileged vision of what is possible if they are prepared to work for it. To
accept discipline and realise latent protential. Already some of the first wave
of Kidz are shaping up to a career in theatre.

Rock Teddies in Wonderland
Rock Teddies have always existed and so has their secret
world ....but perhaps you have never seen one. Tonight you wil!!
This is Cornwall, and over the Celtic Sea is Ireland and ....as everyone knows
these lands are inhabited by Leprechauns and Pixies and kinds of secret things.
They're just a little bit choosy about who they reveal themselves to.
None of the Kidz in our show was the least bit surprised to meet the Rock
Teddies..... they knew them all along. That's why we have a show, Rock n Roll
music Kidz style.
You saw it here first - and the next time you see Teddy Boy in his Pink Cadillac
speeding down the A30.... don't forge to wave.

Stepping Out
Stepping out, which enjoyed a successful
West End run at the Duke of York's Theatre, is a warm and very funny play about
the loves, laughs and lives of a group of women (and men) attending a weekly
tap-dance class in a dingy North London church hall. There is ex-professional
dancer Mavis, who runs the class, cheerfully overweight Sylvia, Andy; a
plain do-gooder with no confidence, snobby, but well-meaning Vera, timid Dorothy
who works in Social Security; Maxine, attractive, sharp and very shrewd; nurse
Lynne, Rose the self-styled 'token spode' and Geoffrey, the lone male. As the
play progresses, the class's dancing improves to such an extent that by the
climax, a grand charity show performance, they have been transformed into
triumphant tappers, worthy of any chorus line. Voted comedy of the year by the
Evening Standard Drama Awards 1984.
Thursday 20th - Saturday 22nd June inclusive

A Slice of Saturday Night
Its Saturday night at the Provincial 'Club-A-Go-Go'
and three blokes and four birds are out on the pull. The girls chalk-faced, pale
lipped and lacquered to perfection are desperate to look like Twiggy, Sandy Shaw
or Dusty Springfield. The lads in there button down collars and leather caps are
all would be Beatles or embryo Donovans. However, beneath the girls' skimpy Mary
Quant and St. Laurent copied dresses beat virginal Barbara Cartland hearts,
while inside the lads' cool, hipster trousers lurk the impulses, which have
driven adolescents to distraction since the dawn of time.
Sue is going out with Gary, who chats up Penny and any other bit of stuff that
looks his way. Sharon fancies Rick who fancies Sharon but can't pluck up the
courage to tell her because she has not told him. Eddy fancies Bridget who
doesn't fancy anyone. And so, watched over by ageing rocker Rice 'Rubber Legs'
de Vene, the Clubs seen-it-all, done-it-all owner, we follow them as they wend
their way through teenage moods as rigid and predictable as any New Guinea
tribesman's initiation rights.
