Open Weekend

It's been a while since I've added anything on here so apologies for that.

I had two lovely weeks off and then came back to work to find Gareth working in London (thanks Gareth!). It's a great opportunity for him but I can't wait for him to return. On Monday we have Steven Williams joining us until Christmas. Steve has been at the Centre for quite a few years and is currently a team leader in the visitor services team. He's really into his music so I'm looking forward to seeing what he brings to the Dan y Pared series.

Since my holiday I have been busy planning for the Open Weekend which takes place this Saturday and Sunday. There is so much going on it's hard to put it all down here. Loads of Glanfa and Angorfa Stage performances, walkabouts, workshops, tours, trails, exhibitions and displays. We have 14 costumes coming from Coleg Morgannwg. The students have made some fantastic reproductions of costumes from My Fair Lady, The King and I and Alice in Wonderland (to name a few). We will also have a make up artist doing theatrical make up - cuts, bruises etc - which should be fun. Hopefully the weather will hold out and it will be a fantastic weekend.

I shall be missing the Sunday as I'm off to London to see the 25th Anniversary performance of Les Miserables at the O2. I can't wait. I saw the original production in London and have seen is nine times since, including once at the Centre last Christmas. This version stars Matt Lucas, Nick Jonas, Alfie Boe and Lea Salonga plus members of the original cast. I will let you know what it's like next week.
