WARDROBE

an S.O.S.

Once more we are asking for extra help in the Wardrobe, as we are stretched to the limit now Ann Harrison is unable to attend.   Even one Sunday each month would help to take the pressure off the regular helpers, none of whom are getting any younger!   The work is enjoyable, often challenging, and I guarantee you will be amazed by some of the treasures we have there.    If you can help, contact Pam on 439 2225.

Text Box: Sat 25th Feb, 9.30 - 4.00

Maracatu Workshop at Chads

Play Reading Friday 13th April 2012 - Call for a Director

 

The ADG would love someone to come forward to direct the above play as a rehearsed reading for ‘Visiting Mr Green' by Jeff Baron

This is a great play for 2 actors - one elderly man and one young upwardly mobile man.  It centres on their resentment to be together but develops into a gripping and poignant drama.  If you have entertained the idea of being a director or have been an assistant director or an established director you could have a great time with this one.  A rehearsed reading usually involves 3/4 rehearsals and then do it on the night.  Not too much commitment but you'll give a lot of pleasure.

 

Come on take the plunge.
