Footlights Prestwich come to The Met with their latest production, an adaptation of the popular musical CATS, aptly titled The Truth Behind The Tail. Based on the poems of TS Eliot, and featuring contemporary dance routines and music, as well as the most familiar song Memory, this is ‘purr-fect’ entertainment for the whole family!
Footlights Prestwich has been running since 2009, meeting weekly at Prestwich Arts College. The school offers professional standard, affordable acting, singing and dancing tuition for those from 3 to 18 years old. Recently, pupils have been seen on television in both BBC and Channel 4 productions and adverts, as well as on stage at The Lowry.
