When the first version of this post was prepared, the “interesting fact remained” as characters in both last year’s show and next year’s might put it, is that was then exactly 300 days to our opening night of Patience!

That number is now down to 263 days, and the good news is that our audition process is now more or less complete, so most of the principal team have been selected. But every G&S show needs a chorus! Could that be you? We start back with our regular Wednesday rehearsals on 27 August at Limekilns. Do spread the word, and encourage folk to join … see our Becoming a member page.

Which means that it’s time to think about auditions and rehearsals … as you’ll see from our newly-revised Auditions page, the main dates for auditions are 28 May and 1 June, and we start back with our regular Wednesday rehearsals on 27 August. Do spread the word, and encourage folk to join our chorus as well as trying their hand at principal parts … see our Becoming a member page.

Our plans for the next show are currently under wraps, but we can assure you that they’re exciting — another different take on G&S, following the success of Iolanthe. If joining us appeals, then book the afternoon of Sunday 19 May, and join us for the workshop at Limekilns, when all will be revealed, and you’ll be able to release the inner Thespian!
