To reassure everyone, we kept them in the room, they wern't allowed out in public.

Julie is seen above with her new dance partner, Bob the Broom, the other chaps value their toes.

Message from our Director Carolyn about our November production, "I have now looked into the Charity and wish to support two appeals currently being made by COBALT Cheltenham. These are Dementia Futures Fund and Supporting Teenagers and Young Adults with Cancer. Information is available on their Website." Very good choices let's hope for a ticket sellout so we can raise a lot of money for local good causes.

Our next production isn't until November but the hard work has started already, the easy bit is getting up on the stage to perform but behind them is a team of people who make it all happen. The photo is of the first production meeting where we were going through the early stages of planning the set, lighting, sound, publicity, costumes, tickets, seating plan etc.etc. We will post pictures of rehearsals as we go through the summer. Tickets for the show will be available in early Septmber.

Fantastic news - our wonderful audiences donated £450 to the Maggies Cheltenham charity during our recent production, we will be presenting a cheque to them on Monday 29th April, we look forward to seeing the photos.

Auditions for our November panto were held on Wednesday 17th and a great cast has been chosen, details about the cast will be posted once rehearsals start, it will be a great show.

The Next Production w/c 24 November 2019
Snow White and the Seven Ugly Sisters
It is really important we can bring together a fabulous cast and Churchdown Players has a great track record in doing so!
This is a pantomime. It has a few key roles and lots of singing! Much of the singing is as an ensemble and all the songs are well known from great shows - just with a few adjustments to the words!
Next week (Wednesday 17th) we will read through the script  - or at least most of it! You will have the chance to put your name down for one or more roles but be aware that some will have a singing audition. See below. The auditions will take place straight after the read through.
It will be amazing to see as many of you as possible next week. Anyone wanting a key role will need to be there please (let us know if you are going to be late!).
Singing Auditions
Snow White - You must love me from Evita plus one lively song of choice
Queen - one song of choice
Prince Valiant - one song of choice
Revolta (sister of Valiant) - one song of choice
Mirror- option to sing one song of choice but not a requirement
This show is very much a joint effort!  Marilyn Karen and Carolyn would love to see you at 7.30 next week!

Our April production of three one act comedies has just finished.
The group is meeting on Wednesday 10th April to celebrate the production and will then decide what to stage in November, we have a couple of ideas but nothing definite yet. As soon as there is a decision we will let everyone know.
Thank you to everyone who supported us in April, when we have totals for the charity collection we will publish the details, thanks for your generosity.
