TO YS ‘are’ US

Toppers toy shop is the best in town. Dom Topper is proud of his toys and makes them all by hand, they are brilliant! All the children agree, the world is
a better place thanks to Toppers!

But N.A.F Toys Ltd, an international, multi million pound company, owned by the cold-hearted
Nigel Arlington-Farley is taking over! It seems that Toppers Toy shop has suspiciously had a run of faulty toys, a water pistol that’s flooded a village, a toy car that’s been involved in a hit and run and worst of all a brand new My Little Poopy Doll has exploded and taken out an entire block of flats!

Has Mr Topper been making dodgy toys or is N.A.F trying to sabotage his business? Unless he
can prove his innocence by the end of the week, Toppers is going to get closed down and bulldozed with all the toys inside!

Will the children be able to save their beloved toyshop from the clutches of N.A.F Toys? Will Mr
Topper be able to stop his toys causing havoc? And who are the mysterious helpers that work only when the shop is closed???

You’ll have to act, sing and dance as if the future of Toppers toy shop depends on it...because it does!!

THE ONLY WAY IS DANGLEBERRY
Dangleberry is THE most boring place on earth. For the kids that live there life is dull. No fun, no excitement, nothing to do..... until wannabe celeb local girl Demi, gets some news.
The town is to be the next big thing in reality tv programmes and will appear in ‘The Only way
is Dangleberry!’ The cameras want sleaze, fun, arguments, sleaze, parties, asbo families and sleaze – all Dangleberry can offer is a church hall, knitting
clubs and a visiting library bus!

With the TV cameras on their way it’s up to Demi and her mates to convince local residents to ‘get a life’ and make Dangleberry look interesting. Will Ray from the garage pretend to be a Lady Ga Ga tribute act? Will old Mrs Timkins put down her knitting and take up streedance? Will the posh Parker-Farquar family don tracksuits, get tagged and start brawling in the streets? - and what is the real reason Demi has got the TV cameras to Dangleberry???

You’ll have to act, sing and dance as if the future of Dangleberry depends on it...because it does!!

'Dawn of Hope

Walsall CDT alongside Walsall teaching Primary Care Trust, NHS Walsall Community Health and Walsall Local Neighbourhood Partnership are currently developing a educational DVD to raise awareness of clinical depression for BME communities.

The first phase of the project involved consultation and research with health staff, service users, GP’s and local community which was led by BME Community Mental health development workers and Graduate Mental Health Workers from the tPCT.

The film script was devised by Round Midnight Ltd in response to the findings of the consultation and with input from the project steering group representatives. The script has been proofed by many local health professionals to ensure it is an accurate portrayal of the local situation and local services available.

The film consists of a series of interrelated case studies illustrating different aspects of depression. The dialogue will be in Urdu with English subtitles. The drama will be supported with information about treatments and recovery including interviews with health professionals.

A supporting brochure will give explanatory background information, an overview of depression and signpost further sources of information and support.

The DVD will be showcased On March 11th at Forrest Arts Centre Walsall.

Haunted School

Round Midnight Ltd recently worked with The Saltley Plus Cluster and the Rosary Catholic Primary school in the October half term. You could tell that halloween was just around the corner as the young people involved chose to create a spooky pop video full of ghostly images.

The video was filmed by the group with the help of arts worker Stuart Lane with music by the group and music worker Sami Cornick.

The group has just 3 hours per day to put together this spooky tale of a deserted school.
