Out With The Old, In With The New

Sad news about our proposed "Grease" show.  The American rights owners have withdrawn their permission for any of the songs to be used, so we can't do it.  So – forget that.  We now go to our next show………….

 

AN EVENING OF FUN AND FRIVOLITY WITH BILL SHAKESPEARE – WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT?  He died in 1616 so this will be the 400^th anniversary of his death.

 

We will perform a one-act play, "A Merry Regiment of Women", the odd soliloquy or two and songs from the various shows and films with Shakespeare connotations.  So, something for singers and actors alike.  Danny Sparkes will be director, Lance Jones the Musical Director.

 

They will hold a read through/audition evening at Addlestone Community Centre, Mitchell Hall on Thursday 23^rd June 7.30 p.m. onwards.  Do come along and find out more about it, just remember "all the world's a stage" and it may be time to "brush up your Shakespeare".

 

The performance dates will be Friday and Saturday 23^rd and 24^th September.

 

Chairman

Jane Ward has resigned her chairmanship of A.C.T.  At a committee meeting last night, 1st February, Lance Jones was unanimously elected as Interim Chairman until the A.G.M.

Fwd: Dad's Army

We were pleased with the turnout for our Dad's Army auditions recently.  We have a few places left for some smaller or non-speaking parts and are holding another audition evening on Sunday 31st January at 7.30 p.m. at Addlestone Community Centre.  Ladies as well as Gentlemen are welcome.

We are doing two plays - Mum's Army and The Godiva Affair, plus a rendition of The Floral Dance, as only Dad's Army can do it.
