ANNOUNCING OUR PROGRAMME FOR 2023-4
What are we going to perform over the next 10 months? That has been our dilemma for the last few weeks. As with many amateur theatre groups, we face increasing issues from all angles – but mostly from dwindling numbers of actors. There are many plays we would love to perform but are unable to due to our limited cast availability, coupled with the need to also have members literally behind the scenes in our backstage roles. As you know, Jayne Hewson’s passing in March was a devastating blow to our group and adds to a loss of four other actors since lockdown; Wyn Price, who also passed, and others where personal circumstances can no longer allow the heavy commitment of time required to put on a production. (On a positive note, we are pleased to welcome new recruit Sue Crowston to the group.)
If we are to offer you more varied, exciting and funny plays then we need to encourage new (and let it be said) somewhat less mature males and females to take on this exciting and rewarding pastime.
So if being on stage is not for you, perhaps you know of friends or family members in the area that could be encouraged and inspired with your help?
We also welcome help backstage, at set build and on play nights to assist with our interval drinks and if anyone has a yearning to operate the sound and lights then get in touch!
OUR NEW SEASON
Enough of our woes. We have, despite them, come up with a wonderful programme that fits our current cast availability and just two male actors (oh did I mention we need more actors?).
Please note that the booking office is not yet open but follow us to be amongst the first to know
Here are the dates to put in your diary.
November 16, 17, 18 2023
We are pleased to announce that we will be bringing John Godber’s wonderful comic play about a couple who win the lottery back to the stage.
LUCKY SODS
by John Godber
We first performed this back in 2005 and it was a play that was very much enjoyed by both the cast and the audiences.
May 16, 17, 18 2024
We return to farce with our May play and a very funny fast-paced drama of confusion, mistaken identities, mayhem and, of course, doors opening and closing.
PERFECT WEDDING
by Robin Hawdon
So please reserve those dates in your calendars and await our next post with more detail about our first play.
