Monday 29th July and Tuesday 30th July

The Kenyan group will explore London before returning to Nairobi, Kenya.

* Regarding the itinerary in-between rehearsals and performances in Kingston, there will be many free live events, circus acrobatics, live music, face painting, fun games etc. on the pedestrianised streets of Kingston and in small venues such as cafes and parks.

 

Every day (25-28) the Downs Junior children will need to bring, and be responsible for, their own costumes, home clothes, production t-shirts, packed lunch, snacks, drinks, spending money, entertainment such as a book or electronic devices, sun cream, sun glasses, a waterproof jacket and, if applicable, their mobile phone and inhaler/medication. They will therefore need one rucksack in which to contain all of these items. I would really appreciate the children drinking fresh juice or cordial or (preferably) water instead of carbonated drinks. ALL of the above items MUST be clearly labelled with your child’s name.

To any of you who will be sitting in the Rose Theatre auditorium for any of the shows, I truly hope you enjoy the show. I’d like to thank you all for your support with what has been an ambitious and exciting project.
