1 Day Play . . .

How does the 1 Day Play work?

John Giller, Principal Director of JGDATA works with your school for the whole day, starting with an assembly at 9.00am, explaining the theme and the running of the day.
The day is then split into workshops (based on the school day, with breaks and lunches at normal times with each workshop needing a minimum of 30 minutes.)   In this way every child in the school will be involved. 
N.B.  John Giller will leave your school at 2.30pm, so the last workshop needs to start at 2.00pm to run for the minimum 30 minutes.

See below for a more detailed break down of the day . . .  

What do you get?

The best way to enjoy the 1 Day Play provision is with the whole school.  You get, John Giller (a fully qualified teacher and actor from 9.00am - 2.30pm), all scripts, some costume and props which John uses during the day, free downloads from JGDATA masks for pupils to create and use, music and sound equipment to use in the workshops.  (If your school hall has a sound system that plays CD or MP3 then that can be used instead - please advise us when you book.)

What does it cost?

The whole day costs just £200 - what a bargain!  CLICK HERE to book your 1 Day Play
