NEWSLETTER Monthly News & Info
I don't know if you noticed
but, due to heavy work commitments, I missed two issues of your favourite
newsletter.
My involvement with Tavern
has been virtually zero so I was looking forward to being entertained on Saturday
11th when my wife and I, with a couple of friends, attended as paying guests.
I was not disappointed!; the show was excellent and the evening just flew
by.
My congratulations to all involved, not least to those who laboured behind
the scenes, but nothing can detract from the performers and those who organised
them. There are still two performances to come - order your tickets early
as I think they will come under heavy demand.
Junior Production - Fri/Sat, 15/16 October
In addition to her contribution
to Tavern, Nettie Powell has been working very hard on the Junior production
for weeks now. Under her direction, things are shaping up very nicely and
we all look forward to a genuine youth theatre event in Pewsey.
Martin Clifton has agreed to produce our next
Pantomime and wants to do Beauty & the Beast (subject to acquiring a suitable
script). We can all relax a little, knowing that it's in safe hands.
One big innovation this year is the choice of dates. Instead of 6 performances
on 5 consecutive days (2 on Saturday), we will do 6 performances split over
2 weekends.
There will be Friday evening, Saturday matineé and Saturday evening performances
on two consecutive weekends. This provides 2 matineé performances and also
means no performance on a school night.
The take up for this show
has been relatively small so it is not economical to hire a coach. Consequently,
all the theatre goers are making their separate ways to the theatre in Bristol.
Bristol has had more than one world premiere and PVADS are right in the forefront.
We took a party to see the Nutcracker before it reached the London stage a
couple of years ago.
So there you have it; Pewsey, and PVADS, leading the way once again.
It is provisionally planned
to hold auditions for this year's Pantomime immediately after the Youth Theatre
Event on Sunday 17th October.
There will be parts for Juniors, Chorus and principals. Details from Martin
