EVENING PUPILS’ RECITAL
DOMINIONS THEATRE
Tuesday 2nd October 7.30pm
A showcase of soloists of all ages.
Free Admission, ticket not required
BLACKBIRD
THEATRE Friday 5th October 7.30pm
Blackbird explores the themes of homelessness,
family breakdown, adoption and addiction. The
play observes the strength and tenacity of the
human spirit as it endures a profound sense of
loss and belonging and a deep hunger and desire
for a better life; the courage to keep faith and
hope alive in the face of such adversity. Wisdom,
empathy and a sense of the absurd, turn a colourless life into a
magical existence, full of unseen wonders and revelatory insights.
Blackbird is a Their Future Today production. All the money raised from the
evening’s performance will go to the charity, whose work in Sri Lanka raises funds to
provide a new life for orphaned and abandoned children; changing
their young lives, providing a family, an education and a real sense of
purpose and belonging.
Tickets: Adults £5, Conc. £4, Friends £3

Suitable for ages 11+. Tickets: Adults £8, Conc. £7, Friends £6 MO-SOUND SISTERS THEATRE Thursday 11th October 7.30pm The Mo-Sound Sisters Showband are a stunning 3-piece female fronted tribute show performing the music and moves of the Motown Sound, backed by an incredible four piece live band.

WEST SIDE STORY
THEATRE Thursday 29th November to Saturday 1st December
7.30pm
Christ’s Hospital presents this ambitious staging of Bernstein and Sondheim’s
musical masterpiece, ‘West Side Story.’ If ever there was a relevant time to
perform a piece about the tensions of migrants and nationals living side by side
it is today. The ‘PRs’ could
easily represent today’s
Hispanic population and
the response of (some)
of the Jets could be a
mouthpiece for the ‘Wall-
building Trump brigade’
in 2018. Join the Christ’s
Hospital Seniors as they
dance, sing, play and act
their way through a timeless
classic in this collaboration
between the Music and
Drama departments.
With Choreography from
renowned Dancer and
Choreographer David
Lloyd and the usual energy
and commitment from the
Christ’s Hospital Seniors, this
promises to be a night out to
remember.
Tickets: Adults £10, Conc. £9, Friends £8
