SHANNON STAR STAGE SCHOOL COMMENCING SEPTEMBER 2008 NOTICE: All places for the September School have now been filled. However if you would still like the possibility of joining the School over the coming months please register now and we will let you know when a place becomes available. The Shannon Star Stage School under the direction of Bryan Carr will commence classes on Saturday September 6th 2008. Bryan has established this school as a result of numerous requests from parents and young people alike to setup a school in Tralee following his departure from Tralee Stage School where he was Musical Director and Vocal coach for six years. Mission Statement: Shannon Star Stage School is first and foremost a Musical Theatre based school with performance development for young people as its core vision. The vision of the school will be carried out through group classes and workshops along with recital and costumed productions. The main subject taught will be confidence building...this is the key to making any stage school an enjoyable experience. Every individual student attending our school will have their own personal strengths and weaknesses. At Shannon Star your child will be afforded the opportunity to develop their own personal performance skills at their own pace and without the pressure of the schools quality or reputation to inhibit this development. We want your child to grow in confidence. In this age of peer pressure, goals and achievement levels, bullying and isolation issues your child may need an outlet whereby their artistic side is developed and applauded. They may not come out of our Stage School as the best singer or best dancer or best actor but then again that is NOT what our school is about. School Details Availability: Limited to 60 students (Lower numbers = Greater Involvement) When: Saturdays Where: Teach an tSolais Centre, Ashe Street, Tralee Times: Primary School children from 10.30am to 1pm Post Primary School children from 1.30pm until 4pm Term 1 - September 6th - December 20th (15 weeks - Oct. 25th school holidays) Term 2 - January 10th - May 16th (15 weeks - Feb. 21st, March 4th, 11th & 18th school holidays) Activities & Performances
