THE ACTONIANS next production is……. A Pantomime - ‘Oh yes it is!’

This year’s autumn production is the classic pantomime – ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, written by one of our group, Dee Mason and directed by our Chair, Mark Whitehouse. So polish up your ‘He’s behind yous’ and come with us on our adventure to the land of giants. Rehearsals are in full swing and the costumes as colourful as ever. Tickets are on sale now.

Our two actor’s workshops earlier this year were so successful that we will be running two more next year. Mark Danbury will run part two of his workshop on stage craft, on Saturday 12 March 2016 and Mark McGann will follow up his directors’ workshop on Saturday, April 2.

Next Spring the production in May (19-21) will be ‘Cranford’ by Elizabeth Gaskell, adapted for the stage by Laura Turner. It contains the most poignant and funniest observations of life in a rural village in Victorian England. So do put the dates in your diary. Readings and auditions will be in December and we start rehearsals in January!

If there are any budding actors out there, you can contact us via our email address or come along to one of our regular Wednesday rehearsals in IAPH (from 7.30 pm). All comers are welcome to our very active and sociable group.
