We will start our 2010 season with Someone Who'll Watch Over Me by Frank McGuinness: 23rd to 27th February 2010, 7:30p.m. at The Spring. Members available for front of house duties should contact Gina.
Arthur Miller's The Crucible will be staged in April. In July we present Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Our Christmas pantomime will be "Cinderella: A Christmas Adventure!", devised by Mark Wakeman and Daryl Wakelin.
As part of our anniversary season, we revisited the 1980s in Lancashire with the award-winning Road by Jim Cartwright, performed Angela Pressland's A Higher Education and concluded with What The Butler Saw, by Joe Orton, all of which received excellent reviews in The News and RemoteGoat.
