Christmas showcase by the Arts North Studios Academy held at The Fire Station in Sunderland.
Arts North Studios Academy are taking over The Fire Station on Monday 14 December for The Night Before Christmas, their Christmas celebration for the year. It's a showcase of the work coming out of the academy, so rather than one act, you'll see a whole run of performances from the students and teachers who make up the school. If you've got kids or friends in the academy, this is the one they'll be talking about as the term winds down.
As a showcase, it's built around the different classes and projects the academy runs throughout the year. That means the evening is a mix of styles rather than a single show, with different groups taking turns on stage. It's the kind of night where you get to see the range of what they do in one go, from the smaller, more focused pieces to the larger ensemble numbers. Because it's a Christmas celebration, there's a festive thread running through it, though the core is still the work they've been putting in all year.
It's a local production, put together by the academy and performed right here in Sunderland. The Fire Station is a good spot for this sort of thing, and with the show falling just a couple of weeks before the big day, it's a handy way to get your Christmas plans sorted early. If you're already in the loop with Arts North, you'll know the kind of energy they bring to these showcases.
