Cabaret Weekend

Well! That's another fantastic show under our belt, and what a success it was too. We played to full houses on both nights, and the audiences were terrific. With refreshments half way through they certainly seemed to enjoy themsleves immensely, and the wonderful comments that came pouring in afterwards make all the work more than worthwhile.

Pauline Hillberg, the director, certainly came up trumps with this show. With an excellent mix of songs, dances and skits the show fairly buzzed along with great merriment and mirth, not to mention the 'Old Ladies' on their annual outing grumbling and complaining about being "so damn old", the script of which was wrirtten by Pauline herself, as were some of the other skits. Considering there were a total of 26 bodies, ranging from 6 right upto 70, dancing and prancing on the small stage at Wesley Memorial Church Hall we did exceedingly well.

It is a great joy to see so many people enjoying putting on a production with no prima donnas, we all work as a cohesive team to reach our ultimate goal, and that is to entertain the audience but to have a great deal of fun ourselves on the way.

The show was made more of a success by the sound and lighting engineers Brian Holder and Alex Simpson. They make certain that everyone can hear and see everything that is going on, which they did with great skill.

Thanks go also to all the ladies who helped out in the Kitchen to feed the massing throngs Ann Way, Hazel Smith, Gloria Davies Jo Tiley and Pauline Brumpton

And for those who wern't aware, the young man who so wonderfully entertained the audience during the interval, on the piano key board was Neilio Rodrigues. Well done Neilio. We are looking forwrd to hearing more.

The front of house staff for the evening were Viv & George Simpson who looked after the audience so well and managed the raffle and sweet shop.

Mince Pies & Monologues

The Mince pies and monologues show was a great success with 24 of us in the final line up. The audience were treated to a wonderful hotch potch of Christmas delights through song, carol and poetry of both a humurous and serious nature. A nativity scene started the whole show off with Pauline and Sam Balch reading a poem and singing a carol while the younger children came in dressed as the wise men and shepherds and then sang Away in a manger.

The Church ladies did a lovely job supplying the 50 strong audience with tea and mince pies, which were very well recieved, I'm sure

In total £165 was raised for the church coffers so we were all thrilled with that.

The committee have decided that in future no game machines of any sort must be brought to rehearsals, otherwise the offending person will be asked to take it straight back home again or their parent's asked to come and collect them. Also, all mobile phones must be switched off during all rehearals.
