Open Night

What’s an Open Night? It’s an opportunity to come and meet the members at our rehearsal room near the Village Hall, have a cuppa and some nibbles and a chat and find out if you’d like to get involved in helping us.

Like many amateur drama groups across the country it is becoming difficult to maintain the effort required to bring shows to the local community – both through supporting activities and having sufficient actors to cast in plays (especially male roles and indeed younger characters). An 85 year old Sir Ian McKellen recently played a young Prince Hamlet in an age-blind production on stage. Whilst we’re not in that bracket our cast numbers and age profile does limit our choice of productions and this year we are embarking on a campaign of increasing our visibility and encouraging local people (experienced or newcomers) to consider acting (or just helping) in this well-liked and respected drama group.

So if you or someone you know would like to call in and ask questions and see more of what we do why not come along – simply get in touch with our secretary Dianne and confirm. See the details below.

Announcement – Date Change

It’s still five months away but we need to inform you that the performance dates for our next play have had to be changed due to cast availability.

The Sweet Delilah Swim Club will now be one week earlier than previously advertised and we must apologise to all those who have already put dates in their calendars or booked in advance.

We will, of course, shortly be contacting all those who have already booked seats and our season ticket holders.

Once again, apologies to those who have just booked and for the inconvenience.

Be sure to follow us on here and get our updates where we will be giving more information about our next production.

And watch out for our report and photos from Albert Nobbs – coming soon.

Last Chance!

We have been getting some excellent feedback and it was a sellout last night Friday).

There are still some seats available for our final performance tonight though if you want to find out for yourself! Leave ‘Strictly’ for catch-up and come and see live entertainment for just £10 including programme and refreshments….

“Absolutely brilliant” “So funny..” “..tears and laughter…”

Albert Nobbs – this week!

Poor old Albert Nobbs. It’s the early 2000’s and retirement has not turned out favourably for this curmudgeonly hen-pecked husband. And it’s about to get worse. This is a comedy that reminds you of Victor Meldrew in One Foot In The Grave blended with the ghostly Blithe Spirit.

Expect plenty of laughter and perhaps a few tears as Connie shows us their long married life together… and beyond.

There are good seats available for Saturday but feel free to ask for Thursday or Friday and we also have a cancellation list.

First night is this Thursday 14th of November.

Gordon Steel’s Albert Nobbs was first performed in 2003 at Hull Truck.
