Free TIE Show for Drama Teachers in the UK

On Wednesday 10th September from 4.30 - 6.30 p.m. Solent People's Theatre will be performing their new show 'The Wiltons' exclusively for an audience of teachers - and it's completely free!

The combined performance and hi-tech workshop (with interactive voting equipment) deals with issues of Personal Finance. We'll also be showing it to our Yr 9s and to those Year 10 & 11s studying Drama/Performing Arts.

It would be great to have some 'facebook friends' from Drama Teachers in the UK come along. I would imagine that you might be able to use INSET funding for transport / cover as this show might help us find ways to deliver the 'Economic well-being' bit of Every Child Matters through Drama.

Here's a weblink to Solent People's Theatre Homepage & some blurb about the show:
