August

Hope everyone has had a good break and a good holiday or perhaps your holiday is still to come.

Whilst rehearsals have taken a break a lot of work has gone on the background.   Members of our scenery construction crew have been working hard making and painting items in our Thornhill store. 

Costumes are being made, altered and purchased by our Wardrobe team with people searching out material for costumes in far-off places, including Wales and Venice.  Hopefully the treasurer won't get a bill for transport costs!

We look forward to welcoming the Gang back to the first past-holiday rehearsal on Sunday 21 August - don't forget that this is 2 days before school starts.
