Stomp

nldcs

Trip to Stomp for age 13+
Date: Saturday 18 November 2017
Time: Meet at 2.30pm for 3.00pm start
Venue: The Ambassadors Theatre, West Street, WC2H 9ND
Cost: free, but a £25 advance deposit is required which will be refunded on the day
Age: 13+

Stomp is a blend of comedy, dance and rhythm in which the performers use everyday objects including bin lids and plastic bags to get the audience’s toes tapping and adrenaline pumping. The show has been described by the The Times as ‘incredibly powerful’ while the Standard says that it is ‘endlessly inventive, the performers’ energy and discipline is awesome’.

This event is aimed at encouraging independence and teenagers will NOT be accompanied by an adult in the auditorium.

A committee member from NLDCS will meet them at the start to ensure they have their tickets and will remain near the theatre during the performance. Do make sure that your child is comfortable with this.  Additional information will be providing on booking.

This trip is being made possible by a grant from the National Deaf Children’s
Society.
