No,  not a resurrection of Alistair Cooke’s programme (for those of a certain age who remember him, and no, I don’t mean the cricketer either.)   Actually I mean an email from America to be correct.

It was really nice to get a personal message this week from the authors of our next play wishing us well. Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten are three of the most popular and widely-produced playwrights in the United States. They specialise in writing laugh-out-loud comedies and creating vivid strong roles for women. Between them they have a long pedigree of success writing for American television and theatre. At this side of the pond Jamie Wooten is probably best known as a writer and producer for many seasons of the classic television series The Golden Girls.Our production, The Hallelujah Girls, shows this pedigree to the full with its warmth and humour.  It promises to be a great night out – but only if you have booked your tickets…. 

The Hallelujah Girls tells the hilarious story of a group of women who, realising that time is precious following the loss of a dear friend, turn an abandoned church into a spa and beauty salon: Spa-Dee-Dah! But Sugar-Lee, their high spirited, determined leader, has her hands full keeping the women motivated and coping with obstacles arising from both the present and the past…

Yes, the poster for Hallelujah Girls is ready and at the printers.  Everything is coming together now although next week is what we call ‘books down’ and it brings fear to the actors who desperately set about cramming and trying to remember their lines as they attempt to fly solo without a script.  More on that next week!

Less than six weeks to go to our next play and rehearsals are keeping us busy as usual. The cast are trying to learn their lines – never easy, but this time with the extra difficulty of an American accent.  I guess we could always add a backstory to our characters having spent their childhood in Hull if we struggle…  and as long as we have nobody in the audience from Georgia we should be fine!

And this week we did a photoshoot for our poster concept and the results should be appearing – as soon as our ‘Creative & Graphic Arts Design Department’ gets his act together.

Hard to believe but we are already one month into rehearsals for our next production with 57 days to go to first night.  The cast are dusting off their American accents for this light hearted and warm comedy centred in the fictional town of Eden Falls, Georgia, USA.
