The first get together for Showcase will be on Thursday 24th May at 7.30 at St George Church Hall. We need to have a minimum cast of 20 to make this viable, so please give some though into joining us for what will be a fab slot......and a great cause too.

....will take place on Saturday 16th June at the Longford Suite, Prestwich. Tickets are £30 which includes a 3 course meal, awards ceremony and disco!  It is a fab way to end the theatre season and a great opportunity to let your hair down with fellow musical theatre friends!

Here is the review from Kevin Proctor of NODA......

Hi Everyone

The afterr show party was stonkin. Thank you all for a fabulous week and thank you for my fabulous gifts particularly the photo which I will treasure ( not to mention my sparkly hat and sherbert fountain).

Hope to see lots of you back for Showcase and remember ...................Keep on Rockin'. (with thanks to Mark Frampton for this quote)

........that if you want to go to the aftershow party on Saturday, Linsey and I are collecting your £5 and need to have that in by tonight.

also....the 'get out' on Saturday involves EVERYONE! We all want to head off to the party and meet up with our mates ....but not before we vacate the theatre. Lads (and ladies, if you prefer) are required onstage whilst the girlies are to help out clearing the dressing rooms.....and lads too if if we finish…

Hi all hope you are looking forward to getting into the theatre this weekend. Please bring your brains and plenty of energy.

Are we nearly there yet?

Yes, yes we are.

and if we have to lay any blame......let's blame it on the boogie.

Just a reminder about this from last week. We still need volunteers to help out with our leaflet drop in Sale next Wednesday.....I will be asking for a show of hands at tomorrows rehearsal! We are looking for at least 10 people to help out so please give it some thought.

oh yeah..........SELL TICKETS!!!!

We are now only 3 weeks off curtain up and tickets sales at the moment......are not as good as what we need to make this show a…

Hi all, just to remind everyone that ticket sales are hotting up and we are offering a little incentive. For every block of ten tickets booked for any single performance you will get an eleventh ticket free (i.e. 10 tickets +1 free 20 tickets + 2 free etc.etc.) So sort out how many ticket orders you want and put your big request in and save that bit extra. Tickets available at every Thursday rehearsal or by phone, mobile : - 07504771051 or landline : - 01618650293 or order direct on the…

UPDATE

We have now been granted a license at The Steamhouse until 2am. Cost of this works out at £5 per head which INCLUDES food (veggies will be catered for)!! I'm sure this will be a great way to end what I believe will be a fantastic week? I will bring along another "sign up to" form on Thursday as we need to start getting numbers. Also, friends and family are more than welcome to join us too :-)

Hi guys,

I am posting…

Hi All

It is now that time in the run up to the show when I well and truly kick into Wardrobe Mistress (I hate being called that) mode.  As I said a while ago we would really like people to be able to costume as much as possible for themselves and I know a few of you are working on this.  However, if you can't source anything you need to let me know asap as I don't want to find out the week before the show and then have to run around like a woman possessed (I know some of you already…

Hi All

As promised a copy of the costume plot for Boogie Nights.  This a work in progress as always but it forms the main part of the plot and shows were you will have changes.

We would like whereever possible that you source your own outifits, but please don't purchase anything before you have had it passed by either myself or Christine, so if you see something whilst out and about take a picture and send it to me. 

Also the opening…
