On stage tonight …
Mike Pendlowski and his team have been busy since 9.00am on Sunday, and this is what the Carnegie Hall stage now looks like:
To complete the effect, all that is needed is a cast … and an audience. We have the cast, looking gorgeous, thanks to the efforts of Costume Store and Kerry Black, we’ve rehearsed Peter Macfarlane’s every move, and the orchestra under Eddie Maclennan’s direction sounds great.
All we need now is that audience … YOU! We guarantee that you won’t be disappointed. Tickets from the Carnegie Box Office (01383 602302), or just turn up at the theatre. Doors open at 7.00pm; we launch the production at 7.30pm today.
Read the Press!
We were pleased to see Jim Payne from the Dunfermline Press at our Dress Rehearsal last night to take some group photos of the cast in costume. Do buy a copy when it comes out on Thursday! Whether your interest is in gallant warders or beautiful townspeople of whatever degree, you’ll see a stage filled with colour. Of course, to hear the singing you’ll actually have to come to the show …
Photo call tonight!
Sorry it’s such late notice, but Val was only contacted in the middle of the night to say that Jim Payne from the Dunfermline Press is coming along tonight at six thirty to take a group photo of the cast in costume.
If at all possible, could you please be at the theatre in time to don your costume and be on stage for this. Your first opportunity to bask in glorious publicity!
On stage next week!
We were pleased that The Courier included a preview of the show in today’s “What’s On” section. If you read David Pollock’s brief summary of the story, you’ll definitely want to see the show … the “blend of comedy, satire and social commentary” is as relevant now as it was in 1888.

Yeomen is a dramatic story that is both funny and moving by turns. And it’s a show you won’t want to miss! Tickets from members until Sunday: during Show Week from the Carnegie Box Office (01383 602302).

31 January rehearsal
Hopefully, if you are a member of the company for Yeoman you are planning to come to the Production rehearsal at Whitefield this Sunday coming, 31 January!
Peter asks that the Yeomen and Dame Carruthers are on parade promptly at 2:00pm. Other members of the cast can have a more leisurely lunch, but are required for 2:30pm. The rehearsal is planned to finish at 5.00pm.
Important rehearsal change
Peter has been reviewing the rehearsal schedule and identifying the current priorities. In consequence, the rehearsal on Sunday 24 January will be for Principals only (2.00pm–5.00pm in Whitefield). Please note that the chorus will not be required.
The remainder of the schedule stands as previously distributed (at this link).
Next appearance
Your next chance to see the Society on stage at Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline will be on 19–21 February 2026 in a sparkling production of Strictly Patience.
