Autumn Term 2022 dates: W/C Monday 5th September - W/C Monday 14th November

Welcome to the Take Part online brochure for the Autumn Term 2022. We're delighted to share our busy and varied programme with you. Whether you're an aspiring creative writer looking to put pen to paper, or the West End's next star, we've got something for everyone!

After a very enjoyable summer term, we are looking forward to the return of our Youth Theatre, Youth Musical Theatre and Saturday Drama groups. You will notice that we have rejigged our groups a little, with certain year groups now having their own classes, where previously they were grouped with another year group. If you have any queries about this, do let us know. Keeping participants safe remains our top priority, so we will continue to operate our Covid Safety measures, which are outlined in this brochure.

We are delighted that, after tentative restarts, our groups for adults are now back in full swing! Dance 50, Adult Drama and Creative Writers will all continue to meet at The Theatre. As we look forward to welcoming groups back for the Summer Term, our aim is to continue learning from the 'new normal', and adapting sessions where necessary to offer the best possible experience for participants. After the success of the showcases for Adult Drama and Creative Writers in the Summer term, we are looking forward to a reinvigorated Autumn term.

We are thrilled that our longstanding choir, the Chipping Norton Singers and Great Company, our drama group for adults who identify as neurodivergent or as having a learning disability, will return bigger and better than ever. Finally, we are delighted with the success of The Can Sing Choir, our group for enthusiastic - if slightly inexperienced - singers. The group will run in two groups of five sessions - just pick the ones you want to attend!

We no longer insist on social distancing within The Theatre or during workshops. However, please respect your fellow participants, and check that they are comfortable before getting too close.
