Hello members & friends
As scheduled, a group of dedicated volunteers have been hard at work in the theatre “busy bee-ing” to improve our wonderful facility! And many of the tasks I listed last month have now been completed! There is still work to be done and we will continue with our usual Tuesday Task Force (9 -12 every week) with that aim in mind. A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who came along to help. There were lots of laughs along the way and some new members and friendships discovered
I was really disappointed that we had to cancel our scheduled awards night because we only had 46 members booked! The committee speculated on why this might be and couldn’t come up with a definitive answer. Was it the choice of venue, the timing, the food choice – no-one is sure? What-ever it was, having only 46 people was not viable and would not have felt like a celebration for our 2018 theatrical year.
However, the awards have been decided and we want to celebrate the re-cipients, so have decided to trial a different format this year and have a less formal event, a Sundowner in our newly refurbished foyer! You will see details inside the newsletter and details for bookings (so we know how much finger food to order in!) will be advertised in our next newsletter.
We rarely have a social event other than performances and we will be ca-tering at no cost to members, so please support this event and let’s cele-brate the excellent casts and crews of 2018.
Finally I’d like to remind members that our first production for the year, a debut for director Helen Smolders, is well into rehearsal and looking very, very good! On-line bookings are already open for this delightfully funny musical parody/send-up of the TV franchise “Real Housewives”, so book sooner rather than later!
See you at the theatre
Shelley
