Press Release . . .

Monday 14th June 2004 - For immediate release

Oh for the love of art!!!

Six very willing students from the Big Little Theatre School (BLTS) agreed to wear, test and model the new range of “Crazy Contact Lenses” supplied by Specsavers. The fantastic new lenses ranging from Cats Eyes to Black Wolf and to Devil proved a fantastic hit with all the students who have already put in orders for these wacky monthly disposable lenses.

Specsavers Poole and Bournemouth, are jointly sponsoring Big Little Theatre School's next major production “Cant Stop the Beat” together with Lloyds TSB Commercial Finance, and students can be seen wearing these zany lenses when they appear on the Pavilion Stage 15-17th July 2004.

Paul Gregory from Specsavers was delighted when the kids agreed to model this new product, “ I am only too pleased to be sponsoring their show for the second year running - they are such fantastically talented children and even my eyes light up when I saw them modelling our “Crazy Lenses”. I am proud to be associated with such a professional and enthusiastic school and am delighted that as a company we can help them again, a great combination every one will notice these students on or off the stage.”

Gail Pilling, Company Manager from BLTS cannot thank her two major sponsors enough.“Without such generous funding we would not be able to achieve the power-packed spectacular performances that we are now renowned for. It is marvellous to have Specsavers and Lloyds TSB Commercial Finance on board. The students deserve the very best that we can achieve for them, and the relationships now established with these two companies has seriously helped in our last two productions.” She adds, “I thought the kids looked fantastic in these new lenses and was impressed how comfortable they were, a wonderful fashion accessory, even for those with perfect vision.”

Call into Specsavers to try them for yourself and then make sure you are in the queue to get tickets to see “Cant Stop the Beat”. That’s if you don’t want to miss the very best of West End and Hollywood musical fare combined with the most exciting young talent along the South Coast.
