OCTOBER 2003

FEASTE BALL

This event was pretty much an experiment for us, to relieve pressure on the Musical by reducing the need for a Tavern show. We sold over 130 tickets and the hall was full.

Thanks to Jackie Simper, Martin Clifton and their army of volunteers, the food was generally hailed to be excellent. Thanks to all involved in that exercise, your hard work was certainly appreciated.

The floorshow produced by Darren Little was very good with a series of high quality and well rehearsed dance numbers, to recorded music, interspersed with 2 songs, and three sketches, all held together by mine host Paul Hornbogen.

The floorshow was followed by the band, "Six till Midnite". They took a firm hold on the event and gave a high energy performance, keeping the dance floor full all the time they were playing. It was noted by a number of our guests that there was very little opportunity for traditional ballroom dancing.

It's the first time that PVADS have hosted such an event and it was an interesting learning experience for us. There is room for improvement, but the experience was generally good and we will certainly do it again in those years when we present a musical.


Panto 2004 - JACK & THE BEANSTALK


Auditions for the chorus and principals were held earlier this week, but at the time of writing, the casting has not been finalised. Those who auditioned will be contacted during the next 2 weeks, but there will be no further activity as all our attention is focussed on the current show - The Wizard of Oz. For those successful in getting a part, the first rehearsal will take place immediately after the Wizard of Oz, at 3:00pm on Sunday 26th October.
