| What Do We Do? |  |
||
| We normally stage three or four public productions a year. The Pantomime is staged in February, a musical show or play in late summer and a variety show in October as part of the Thatcham Arts Festival. Larger productions are taken to the Corn Exchange, and smaller productions use local village halls and New Greenham Arts. |
|
| Our summer shows have been varied over the years, including the following: Cabaret style production, combining song and dance with comedy and melodrama. Musical production, with shows as adventurous as 'Little Shop of Horrors' and 'Oklahoma!'. Plays offering a break from the more traditional musical shows have offered something different for our audiences over the last few years. |
|
| Performed in early February and generally aimed at a young audience. We try to provide the ever popular ingredients of panto: A traditional Story |
|
| A chance for anybody who fancies trying something a bit different to become a director. Usually aimed at the smaller venues our plays slot in well around our main shows. |
|
| We are often asked to 'tour' local retirement homes and other similar venues. This is usually a selection of songs and dance from the summer cabaret and is often presented around the Christmas season. |
|
| Partly our 'nursery' and partly a fun social evening. Kittens shows can be comprised of members 'party pieces' or, more seriously, a try out for a full production. This is a show which is played to a much smaller audience, made up of friends and family. The usual venue is Upper Bucklebury Village Hall. |
