Hello,
 
It's a busy time for our teachers right now: Andrew Swift has just finished a successful run of Sweet & Sour Productions Sleuth, Naomi Symeou directed the musical Romeo and Harriet for Wah Yan College Kowloon which opens next week, Roxana and Yen Yen appeared in Opera Hong Kong's production of  La Boheme and I will be judging a heat of HK's Global Battle of the Bands, performing in ACT's What A Pair 2 in aid of the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation and designing the make-up for Stylus Production's Rocky Horror Show.
 
Next month, our teachers will be performing together for the first time in two recitals at Sheung Wan Civic Centre's Lecture Hall. Each teacher will be presenting a selection of their favourite music as well as singing some ensemble pieces – it will be a mixed musical bag! Tickets will be available from URBTIX from 25th October.
 
Also in November will be the next round of auditions for Katterwall Youth Music Theatre  lead by Andrew (see below for more details). Drop us a line if you've know an 13 – 18 year old itching to improve their MT skills.
 
Yours

Director, Katterwall
