CDL Drama Workshops

The Churches Drama League are organising several workshops and the dates for the coming two are confirmed as Saturday, April 8th 2006 from 1.00 pm to 5.00pm at Belvoir Rehearsal Studios, 94 Belvoir Drive. The cost is £5 per head to members of Barts.
1. Technical - Lighting & Sound. This workshop is aimed at those with little or modest knowledge of technical craft and may be particularly useful for those thinking of directing but also those wishing to be more closely involved with these practices.

2. Stage Make-Up. This workshop is one where nearly everyone can learn a lot, experienced or otherwise.

Many of you showed interest before but if you wish to be allocated a place on either workshop then either contact Alan Martin, Barney Gadd or possibly better still go straight to the horses mouth by ringing 02890 649 835

Lady in The Van

As June has been telling you, we need all of you to urge your friends and colleagues to come and see this superb play this week in Barts, Thursday to Saturday at 8 pm. We are indeed fortunate to be given the World Amateur Premiere (also the Irish premiere) and the production is well worthy of that honour. So get the crowds in. please

Sailor Beware

The summer play is cast and rehearsals will be starting on 21st March. I'm still open to offers of help in any and all departments - including the loan of a sofa bed for the set. More details later


An Evening of Percy French
8.00 pm, 21st April 2006
This acclaimed show has been produced on several occasions in recent years much to the huge enjoyment of those fortunate enough to attend. Happily for Barts the Percy French Concert Party have agreed to reprise their successful show to assist us in raising funds to go towards the necessary upgrading planned for the Canon Lindsay Hall.

To make the evening even more enjoyable we shall convert the hall into a salon-style theatre and provide a light supper.
