Ticket? Tick it!

Our next production might be in a Bank Holiday week, and yes it’s the 80th VE Day celebrations the same week but if you can be free on Thursday, Friday or Saturday (8th, 9th and 10th May) why not come along and have a good laugh and support our efforts for just £10 a seat?

At the moment we still have lots of seats available, especially on Saturday night, and we want to make sure that you don’t miss out on your one and only chance to see us perform The Sweet Delilah Swim Club.

If you haven’t already booked, why not book now?

And here’s our little promo from rehearsals – just click to watch. Sadly our small budget did not extend to actually visiting North Carolina for the photo shoot!

It’s Time to Act

Leave a comment

This week, the BBC Breakfast programme showed an excellent ten minute feature about the state of amdram in the UK. It showed perfectly the issues that surround amateur drama groups nationally and the struggles that such groups have in dwindling membership, specifically for actors and even more specifically for casting male roles in plays and going on to show the benefits of being involved in such groups.

It was timely as it coincided with the start of our own campaign to promote ourselves as we too need to encourage people to ‘have a go’.

Our leaflet (see below) will appear shortly around the area and it shows everything you need to know about getting in touch and finding out more.

We are planning to have an ‘open night’ in March where we invite people to come along and meet us – why not get in touch to find the date and register your name?

We will be posting more on this subject in the coming weeks and also about our latest production in May. Watch this space!

ALBERT NOBBS by Gordon Steel

November 14th, 15th, 16th

First performed at Hull Truck in 2003, this small cast play, by the same author of our popular production of ‘A Kick In The Baubles’, is often described as a ‘Blithe Spirit for the working class meets One Foot In The Grave.  Albert Nobbs will make you cry but mostly make you roar with laughter with its wonderful dialogue that is both painful and funny.  Directed by Richard Bateman.

After a life of hard graft, retirement isn’t all what the curmudgeonly Albert expected, bored and nagged by his wife Connie.  But Albert’s world is turned upside down by Connie’s sudden death and he struggles to find a reason to carry on – until Connie returns as a ghost to set about organising a fulfilling retirement including some matchmaking… 

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International on behalf of Josef Weinberger Ltd. http://www.mtishows.co.uk | http://www.josef-weinberger.com
