Festive Frolics
Rehearsals are now in full swing for “Festive Frolics”,
which is due to be staged in the Town Hall on Tuesday 11th December.
The evening is guaranteed to put you in the mood for seasonal celebrations with
a programme featuring traditional and contemporary Christmas songs, humorous
poems and monologues, and well loved carols that everyone is welcome to join in
with. Tickets are £5.00 per person, including a glass of wine and a mince pie,
and will be available from the Tourist Information Centre shortly.
If you would like a taste of what the evening has in
store, why not come and see us perform on the library steps during the Town
Festival on Saturday 24th November. Alternatively if you fancy
joining us on stage, come along to a rehearsal on Tuesday evening at 19:30 in
our studio, off Castle Street or e-mail Membership@llangollen-operatic.co.uk
for more details.
Anything Goes
The senior section is delighted to announce that their
annual production for 2013 will be “Anything Goes” by Cole Porter. The Society
first performed this maritime musical 14 years ago and many of the original
cast will be taking to the stage once more. Set in the 1930s, this upbeat show
tells of madcap antics aboard the ocean liner SS American on its journey from
New York to London. Recognisable numbers from the show include the title song
“Anything Goes”, “I get a kick out of you” and “It’s de-lovely”.
The show will be produced by Sue Cheshire and directed by
Christine Ashworth with Greg Williams as Musical Director. Rehearsals for
anyone interested in auditioning for a principal role will be held on Tuesday
30th October and Sunday 4th November in the studio at 19:30, with auditions on
Sunday 11th November.
We are always on the lookout for new members so if you
would be interested in coming along to join us in an acting or non acting
capacity, please e-mail Membership@llangollen-operatic.co.uk
for further details. We would be particularly interested to hear from anyone
who has experience with designing and making costumes, set building and
painting and the sourcing and organisation of props.
Travelling Troupe News
The Troupe would like to thank everyone who supported
their showcase event “Lost in Music” on 14th and 15th
September in the Town Hall. The event was enjoyed by all involved and the
feedback from the audience was excellent. A profit in the region of £800 was
generated for Society funds.
