Happy New Year!
It's a start of new year, and an exciting one for the society, as well as a series of workshops and events planned for this year we will be holding auditions in the spring/summer for our production The Sound of Music that we are staging in November 2019.
In the meantime to keep things rolling along we will be holding read-throughs for a small production in the spring it's a musical play called Something's Afoot! and it's a musical spoof of the Agatha Christie country house murder. Ten people on a stranded island - you get the idea. This is something different for the society as there are only 10 Adult parts and no chorus. (The feeling was that with such a short rehearsal period, we needed to produce something small!)
If you want to know more click the following link to a professional version which was filmed in Canada! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aamLDs_0ik
In order to gauge interest we're going to have a play reading on Thursday 3rd January - Masonic Rooms, Castle Hill at 7:30pm. After which, hopefully we will swing into full production! Just because there is a cast of 10 it doesn't mean you're not required there are many back stage and front of house jobs for which we will need willing volunteers! I'd like this to be as inclusive as possible - after all we are a team!
I hope you all have had a great Christmas and a fab new year and all being well we'll see you keen and eager on January 3rd!
