NEWSLETTER Monthly News & Info
MAY 2001
The first
ideas night was held in the Royal Oak on Thursday last.
There was a good turnout and lots of ideas were put forward.
We don't have a pianist, but Colin and Tiggy plan to use the band (who
have confirmed).
The Oak was very full and noisy on Thursday, so we agreed to change the date of the second ideas night to;
Second Tavern
Ideas Night
- Tuesday 22nd May @ 8:00pm
More people are wanted for the chorus - all comers are welcome. If you’d like to take part, please get a message to either Tiggy (563735) or Colin (562296).
If you are
online, please visit the new Website that Simone has set up.
The address is shown in the header of this newsletter.
The site will be kept up to date with forthcoming events, and also with reviews of recent productions (check out what people have said about the plays).
I’m looking for some feedback before organising the next event. Please see a short list of possible productions below and let me know (phone or e-mail) your preference.
Chicago
My Fair Lady
The
King and I
These are all London shows. I know it’s a longer journey than Bristol, but you do get to see a much better production.
What
with the holiday season, Carnival, Tavern and Carousel, we will not be able
to squeeze it in before November. However,
with such a big group (hopefully) I need to book it as early as possible to
get the best seats. R.S.V.P.

The plays were very, very good – there was excellent feedback from all who came to see them. Many were taken aback at the high standard and professional approach.
However, the audience figures were very disappointing. For the three nights, we sold 22, 53 and 37 tickets respectively – well below what we expected and we expect a loss in the region of £200.
It is very sad when such a good production cannot even cover its costs.
It is important
to get bums on seats and keep the revenue high so we can continue to improve
our equipment and facilities and put on more challenging shows.
