It’s back to school time for young people across the borough. As with every new term, both Oldham College and University Campus Oldham host an introductory week to welcome students and let them know what opportunities there are in the local area.
Look out for the Coliseum stand at UCO’s Fresher’s Fayre on Tuesday 18 September. They’ll be a range of organisations with information on how you can enhance your university experience with extracurricular activities.
If you are enrolling at Oldham College next week, members of the Coliseum team will also be on hand to let you know about all the different ways you can get involved at the theatre which will not only be fun but will look great on your CV.
The Coliseum has large selection of opportunities for young people who are interested in drama and the theatre. This includes TheatreLAB for young thespians and DigiLAB for people more interested in the technical side of theatre. There is also a group for 5 – 12 year olds – Drama Daze – that is perfect to develop kids’ skills and confidence. Not forgetting Full Circle, our ever popular over 50s group.
Not only are there a wide range of drama classes for all ages and abilities, there is also the chance to volunteer and be part of the Coliseum team. So if you are looking for new and exciting ways to spend your time this academic year, make sure you contact our education and outreach department at education@coliseum.org.uk for more information on everything we have to offer.
Usually here at the Coliseum we would also be starting our ‘new term’ with the first production of the autumn/winter season. However, the building is still undergoing the final stages of the renovation work so we’re holding tight until the end of October when we can open our doors to the public.
Of course, I’m keeping myself busy directing the tour of Jane Eyre which opened this week. The cast had a fantastic run at Shaw Playhouse, Oldham Central Library and tonight they’re playing in Chadderton. If you want to catch this community tour of Charlotte Brontë’s classic love story then we’ll be at Slaithwaite Civic Hall tomorrow evening and Marsden Mechanics for our last performance tomorrow. Call 0161 624 2829 to book your tickets.
