The 2007/2008 season sees the start of GAPA’s fifth year and after the success of our most ambitious season yet we are hoping to build on what we have achieved to date and develop the school even further. We currently have 120 pupils divided into five classes and following auditions in August we will have a new intake for our three Teachers and three Assistants to deal with.
Our first term will once again involve a combination of workshops, rehearsals and an end of term performance in November in the Lauriston Studio. In terms two and three we will again endeavour to organise full productions for all age groups, some of which will be on the main stage and some utilising the improved facilities in the Lauriston Studio during the month of June, dates to be announced later.
Our 2006/7 season culminated with our 8-11s staging "A Pair of Jesus Boots" and "Ernies Incredible Illucinations" and our 12-16s performing three short Shakespeares over four nights on the Main Stage. Our 15-18s then staged "A Midsummer Nights Dream" and "An Inspector Calls" in the Lauriston Studio – to great acclaim from the Sale & Altrincham Messenger.
