ESOL students visit Chichester Festival Theatre on a trip

A lucky group of our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) students had the opportunity to go on a trip to watch Chichester Festival Theatre's delightful production of Rodger and Hammerstein's timeless classic, 'The Sound of Music.'


For many, if not all of them, it was their first time ever watching a live show in a theatre. It was definitely an emotional and exciting experience.


They also had an exclusive chance to have a guided tour round the theatre.

One of our students, Linh, said: "The show was really fantastic and it was great to see backstage and see the set, costumes, props and changing rooms. It was also lovely to meet the actors and ask them questions. My favourite part of the show was the song '16 Going on 17, it was so romantic and I loved the dancing."


ESOL Tutor, Ben, said: "Chichester Festival Theatre is a very prestigious venue, with many great actors such as Alec Guinness and Laurence Olivier having performed there, so it was fantastic for our young people to visit and see a show."
