NEWSFLASH!!! New online ticket payment, spooky goings on and where did you leave your clothes!!! Read on for more information….

After a wonderful performance of “Inspector Drake and the Time Machine” written by David Tristram and directed by Dennis Bloor in May we are looking forward to our forthcoming productions. In October (17th and 18th) we shall be performing “Home is where your clothes are”, a comedy written by Anthony Marriott and Bob Grant. There are evening performances starting at 7.30pm each evening with an additional matinee on the Saturday afternoon starting at 2.30pm. After this we begin our spooky season of the Barton Ghost Walk starting on Halloween, 7.15pm meet at Baysgarth House Museum. Wrap up warm, dress in costume, bring a torch and bring a friend…..walk the streets of Barton – if you dare!!!! From there we will be starting work on our annual pantomime to be performed in January 2014, we have managed to narrow it down to about 4 and will be deciding the final one shortly!

Before we head into the Autumn, we are looking forward to celebrating our youth members’ achievements over the past year with their 5th Annual Awards Evening taking place on Sunday 20th July. We were fortunate this last April as we entered the All England Theatre Festival with a play called “Detective Mimms and the Snaffler” written by Geoff Bamber and were delighted to be awarded 1st Place. Alex Campion also took pride in being awarded the Best Actress in the youth section. Another 5 of our members also had nominations in various categories and we are extremely proud of each and every one of them.
