Ballet at its best in Southwell this month

Posted on by

It’s one of the best-known, best-loved tales of all time and with Christmas just around the corner, Cinderella‘s on plenty of theatre programmes when it comes to pantos…

But if ballet’s more up your street, you’ll definitely want to hear what Christina Phillips-Kelly has to say when she joins June on this week’s Girls Around Town!

Postponed for a couple of years because of Covid lockdowns, The Studio at Averham‘s production of this beautiful ballet comes to the stage at Southwell Minster School Theatre at 5.30pm on Saturday 17 December and 2.30pm on Sunday 18 December.

Packed full of fun, dance and laughter, it’s the perfect opportunity to for you and your family to enjoy watching the children perform as mice and butterflies while Cinderella pirouettes en pointe!

Tickets are on sale now, priced £12 for adults, £6 for children and £8 for concessions but it’s no surprise to learn that they’re selling fast…

So make sure you call The Studio at Averham directly on 07510 666517 or email your order to thestudioataverham@gmail.com soon to get yours.

And don’t forget to Put On Your Sunday Best by tuning into 107.8FM or listening on the apps, on Alexa or online from just after 10am this weekend to hear Christina’s report on how the preparations for those two special days have been going since she was last on air with June a few weeks ago…

If you missed June‘s chat with Christina Phillips-Kelly on Sunday 11 September, when she shared the latest news about The Studio at Averham, here’s another chance to hear what Christina had to say…

Back on pointe with Christina

It’s been just over a year since Christina Phillips-Kelly was last on Girls Around Town, chatting to June about how things were gradually returning to normal for The Studio at Averham after the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions.

And now she’s back, live in the studio this weekend with news of what’s on the cards in the coming weeks and months for her and the dancers she trains…

Bright and early in the first hour of the show because she needs to rush across to Averham to carry out some of that training!

Just a few days after her chat with June, on Saturday 17 September to be precise, she’ll be putting on a street performance – if you’re not quite sure what one of these involves, she’ll have a full explanation to share with you, along with what the theme of this particular one is, where it’s taking place and of course the all-important timing for those of you who’d like to pop along and enjoy it.

Looking a bit further forward, she’ll be talking about a long-awaited opportunity to bring a special event to the area, postponed for a couple of years because of those lockdowns.

Taking place at Southwell Minster School on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 December, it’s Cinderella – quite possibly one of the most well-known and best-loved tales of all time transformed into a ballet.

If panto’s not really your thing, this sounds like a great alternative for a pre-Christmas treat so make sure you’re tuned in to 107.8FM or listening on the apps, on Alexa or online from just after 10.20am for a bit of a preview…

And you’ll probably want to do the same again on Sunday 27 November, when Christina will be back on air for an update on how the rehearsals are progressing as they head towards the day when the curtain will rise for the first performance a few weeks later!
