AWARD FOR THIRTEEN YEARS ATTENDANCE

Micheal Barnes was recently awarded the RSC's Complete Works of Shakespeare for 13 wonderful years attendance at the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy in North London.

North London Principal, Nicola Gossip, congratulates Michael on his achievement.

Michael, who attends the Stoke Newington group, joined the class as a six year old. He had this to say:

"I've been attending Helen O'Grady Drama Academy for 13 years! I've spent so much time with the people there, they've become like family to me. To celebrate the many years and being the longest running member, Nicola and Andrew awarded me the RSC'S Complete Works of Shakespeare. It was a delightful surprise that I will cherish always. Thank you both sooo much!"

Congratulations Michael, and good luck with the Productions next term!

TWO SOUPS FOR COMIC RELIEF

Oldham Principal, Wendy Orrell sent this video of one of the students in her Hebden Bridge studio doing his bit for Comic Relief last week. Wendy says: "Rohan is is absolutely bent on an acting career and does this sort of thing regularly, roping his mum and dad in! It is, apparently, not unusual for their living room to be full of a 'set' of some kind which dad has made. Rohan then enacts his favourite scenes."

What a delight to have someone so creative in class! And congratulations on the fundraising Rohan!

And here is the original.
