Originally planned for late June we have had to bring forward the performance dates to suit cast and crew availability and will now present Garry's three latest plays on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 June. In addition we will perform these productions as a special "Malawi Fundraiser" on Thursday 12 June. Each evening will see three plays accompanied by a Farmhouse Tea and all for just £7.00 a ticket. Tickets went on sale on Sunday 18 May.
The Thursday performance will be more widely advertised to other churches with all the evening's proceeds going to Malawi. Unlike other St Mark's events to support Mpachika, our twinned congregation, this event will support all of the churches in Malawi with Aberdeen connections. Our previous performance was Cabaret 2007, 100 Years of Laughter & Tears - A History of Musical Theatre - . This was presented in the Church Hall on Thursday 29 & Friday 30 November and Saturday 1 December at 7.30pm nightly. Tickets included a Cabaret Supper. Watch again here and read on to see what we said about ourselves in the Easter 2008 Messenger. (This article has been edited slightly to deal with a late change to the production dates - and the price of the tickets.) Thank you to everyone who came along and supported us in our Christmas Production, "100 Years of Laughter and Tears, a History of Musical Theatre". If you had seen our final rehearsal, rather than the actual performances, we doubt you would have come back to see us - ever! They do say that, "It'll be alright on the night" and in our case that was true. Well if the audience reaction was anything to go by - you were wonderful! We at least enjoyed the show despite all of the hard work and we do really want to thank Garry for all he put into the production and especially Anne for her work with the costumes. Many of you commented on our "Black and White" first half as well as on individual performances. We thought, and you did as well, that our soloists particularly, were something special. If you are reading this and didn't see the show (or if you did) you will have a chance to see us again, quite soon, when we do our Spring Plays and "Famous Farmhouse Teas". Garry is writing three short plays for us so that all of the cast of both the 'Players' and 'Stage Door' can take part and we are all looking forward to these productions. The performances will take place in the hall on Friday and Saturday 13 and 14 June and tickets will be priced at £7.00. Look out for further details when tickets go on sale in the near future. |
