	A Chorus Line
	The Regal Theatre, Redruth

	Redruth Amateur Operatic Society (Trust) presents ‘A Chorus Line’ live on stage at the Regal Theatre, Redruth. 9th – 11th September 2010 In an empty theatre, on a bare stage, casting for a new Broadway musical is almost complete. The field’s been narrowed down to just 17 dancers. For these men and women, this audition is the chance of a lifetime. It’s what they’ve worked for — with every drop of sweat, every hour of training. But before the final cut is made, the director Zach asks each of them to talk about themselves. But Zach wants more than just their resumes. He wants to know about their families, friends, lovers, ambitions and careers. From funny to heartbreaking, these 17 dancers share with us the stories of their lives. They put themselves on the line to get a job on the line. And when they’re done, so is the audition, and the final chorus line of 8 dancers is chosen. (This show contains moderate language and sex references) Show times: 7:30pm on 9th & 10th

We have a very wide range of instruments and equipment, and each week, the instruments in our train carriages are changed so that children (and grown ups) can explore many different sounds over the course of the term.

	Kairos4tet - Jazz at the Brewery
	St Austell Brewery, St Austell

	Adam Waldmann- Saxophones Jasper Hoiby- Bass Rob Barron- Piano Jon Scott- Drums Named after the Greek for ‘optimum moment’ this shimmering tune-laden debut from twentysomething saxophonist Adam Waldmann is full of perfectly timed melodic statements. Each luminiously unfurling tune orbits around his exquisitely warm Wayne Shorterish tone on song-like pieces, he’s created a starkly contemplative album. With a star turn from Danish bassist Jasper Hoiby and supple rhythmns, strong melodies, inventive harmonies and flowing improvisation – all point to a young master in the making. "Kairos Quartet are that most difficult of beasts to write snappily about: a no-frills, no-gimmicks, serious-minded band, playing original (Waldmann) compositions imbued solely with musicianly values" Chris Parker, The Vortex "Adam is a beautiful sax player with a strong identity and fantastic ideas. As a soprano player particularly, he’s one of very few musicians who have developed an exciting, per

	Open Studios Cornwall
	Cornwall

	Go Beyond the Sea with Cornish Art For immediate release: February 2011 Open Studios Cornwall is back for 2011, this year running from 28th May - 5th June. Following a hugely successful event last year, the seventh annual Open Studios will be bigger than ever with a record 205 artists and craftspeople throwing open the doors to their studios for a week at the beginning of the summer. The event showcases the best art the county has to offer, breaking the mould of traditional Cornish art with an eclectic range of contemporary work from the diverse pool of resident artists. The unique event - brainchild of Creative Skills - takes art lovers on a tour of unseen Cornwall, into remote cottages and chapels, beach side studios and historic buildings, often far from the tourist trail. The opportunity to meet the artists behind the work, discuss their influences and inspirations and buy their work directly, is an enriching experience for both artist and art lover. Jane Sutherlan

Box office: Telephone 01872 262466 or visit www.hallforcornwall.co.uk This popular musical follows the fortunes of Tevye and his family. The small Jewish community in the Russian town of Anatevka is held together by their sense of identity and their traditions. But in revolutionary Russia change is in the air and some traditions may have to go. Tevye deals with a variety of issues with customary good humour and a conversational style of prayer with God. There is plenty of humour as he attempts to “manage” his unruly brood, his rather formidable wife, Golde, and the interfering Matchmaker, Yente. The play is set against the backdrop of racial tensions between ethnic Russians and the Jewish community
