Its our school play this evening and tomorrow evening and there was an afternoon performance yesterday. Now this year they have decided to charge parents and children for attending £1 adults, 50p children. The infant children do the acting and year 2 kids have speaking parts. The juniors provide the choir. Now our school backs onto a BUPA care home and each year a general invitation is sent to the care home for the elderly to come and watch on the afternoon performance FOC - fair enough. So as the school hall is quite small there is limited seating for the evening performances. The school then decide to farm out free tickets to all of the governors and their guests (not limited) and the teaching staff (who have already seen the play) and their families (once again FOC) they have reserved seating at the front whereas the actual actors parents have to sit further back... Sorry but it really makes me cross... As a consequence tickets have now sold out and many parents aren't getting the chance to see their children perform.
