Autumn Show
Do come to support Chris & Clare at one of their performances of "Around
the World in Twenty Songs". (Originally billed as 30 songs, they thought
that might seems a bit daunting on a poster - it will be between 20 and 30!)
You have a choice of a 2.30pm matinée on Sunday 13 October and
an 8pm evening show on Saturday 19 October. There will be afternoon tea
served at the matinée (with a glass of prosecco!) and a light supper
at the evening show. There will also be a cash bar at the evening show. Tickets
are priced at £10 for the matinée, and £12.50 for the evening.
Proceeds will go to the Village Hall Drainage and Car Park Fund. We're having
a special committee meeting on 30th Sept to finalise what help they'll need
on the night, but help in setting up and clearing up after the shows
would be much appreciated.
'Shed Days'
We've made great strides in clearing out our storage places in and around the
hall, and many thanks to those who have spared their time to help. There are
some pictures of our efforts on the
website. All that's left to sort out now is the cupboard behind the stage
and the space under the stage. We have another 'Shed Day' pencilled in for Sunday
20th October (the day after Chris & Clare's last show) and any of you
able to turn up to help from 10am on that day will be welcomed.
Dramatic Walks
We did a good job at Waggoners Wells on August Bank Holiday Monday (see
photos on the website), and are due to 'do' Hindhead Common on Saturday
28 September. Jo has cast the speaking roles, but there are also 'crowd
scenes' which anyone can join in. Please contact Jo if you want to be involved.
Snow White 2020
Mel is looking forward to seeing you all at the read-through (1 Oct)
and auditions (3 Oct) for Snow White - both at 8pm in the village hall.
Please come along and give her your support. The rehearsal
schedule is on the website, and the performances will be on 10, 11 &
17, 18 January 2020.
Future productions
We have put up on the website a list of likely productions for 2020 as follows:—
– Fri 28 Feb - Green Room - organised
by Dil & Jo
– April 24/25 - a Murder Mystery directed by Rachel
– July 17/18 - an Old Time Music Hall directed by Dil &
Jo
– Oct 9/10 & 16/17 - an Autumn play - to be arranged
As ever, if you have a different thought about what we can do, let us know.
We are open to new ideas.
Christmas Concert
Dil will be organising the Village Christmas Concert again this year. It will
be on Saturday 14th December at the Village Hall. If you would like to
take part please get in touch. The theme this year will, probably, be Christmas
songs from films, TV and the stage, but this would not exclude other Christmas
items. Sketches, readings, carols, jokes anything is acceptable. Dil has some
items that she would like to fit in - we just need someone to volunteer to perform
them. There will also be a "Christmas Choir" again which will rehearse
with Jo Levy and do 3 or 4 songs. Contact Dil if you are interested in taking
part.
