Hi Folks,
Panto 2016
Well done everyone who took part. Feedback has been mainly very positive, but there have been a few negative comments mainly regarding sound and visibility. For the first attempt at the new format this is all really good. Ticket sales were fantastic, breaking all previous records.
Panto 2017
We are looking for a director for Panto 2017. Please contact a committee member if you are interested
Summer Show 2016
Jukebox Summer Time

Musical Director Maria King
Show dates July 7th 8th and 9th 2016
Please come along to our preliminary meeting in
Capel St Mary Village Hall on Thurs Feb 11th at 7.30pm
This show has a summer theme with all the fun and excitement of holiday time. The songs are mostly from the jukebox era of the 1960’s and offer great solo opportunities for both male and female singers, as well as chorus and dancing for performers of all ages. Our list of songs includes numbers from iconic artists such as The Beatles, The Kinks, Dusty Springfield and The Beachboys.
I have had a meeting with Maria this week and we are now keen to get started. I am looking forward to a good turnout on Feb 11th. If you can’t make that date and want to be in the show please get in touch and I will send you the song list for you listen to at home. Casting and auditions will be on February 25th at 7.30
