Time rushes swiftly on, and we are getting geared up for the pantomime in January 2018! We’re doing “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” in a version specially written for us.

The performance dates will be Thursday 11th January to Sunday 14th January 2018, and Thursday 18th January to Sunday 21st January 2018. Performances on  Thursdays are at 6.30pm, on Fridays and Saturdays at 7.30pm. In addition, there are matinee performances on Saturday and Sunday at 2.30pm.

The immediate thing is to have a reading. We read through Act 1 last night, and we are reading through Act 2 on Monday 18th September at 19:15 (7.15 pm) at The Arc.

Following that, we are holding auditions (again at The Arc) on Sunday 24th September, at 14:00 (2 pm) for children auditioning as dwarves, and 15:30 (3.30 pm) for adults.

[Please note that the day and times for the auditions changed after the first version of this post.]

The cast list is:

• Snow White
• Prince
• Nurse Nora
• Odd Job Bob (comedy part)
• Evil Queen
• Herman the Hench-man
• Magic Mirror
• Lord Chamberlain
• The Seven Dwarfs
• Woodland Creatures
• Adult Ensemble

There’s a lot of fun to be had at a pantomime, and possibly even more performing one. Do come along and join in if you can.

As you would expect, we are well under way with rehearsals for our Autumn production which is a thriller by Francis Durbridge called “Suddenly at home”. We have already received offers for help with this (things like props and front of house) but any more offers are also very welcome.

The dates of the production can be seen in the diary of events.

We are all geared up to produce our annual pantomime in January 2017, a traditional activity that has delighted audiences for many years!

This time we present a version of “Mother Goose”, with performances over two weeks, from Thursday 12th to Sunday 22nd January, at The Arc theatre, part of the Wiltshire College complex in College Road, Trowbridge.

Do come and enjoy the show! Also, why not get involved? It’s very enjoyable and sociable!
