Calendar Girls Read Through

For this, our 50th year as Ottershaw Players we are aiming for a celebratory summer production to reminisce over the past fifty years and  look forward to the next fifty.  The production will be performed in Brook Hall in July and we hope to invite some early OP members and life members along with local dignitaries and the local press for a gala performance.
Our chosen summer production is to be ‘Calendar Girls’ by Tim Firth, directed by Claire White-Aldworth.  We are holding a read through as follows:
The Castle Pub on Tuesday 19th March at 7.30pm.
Please come along and support your group with this year’s 50th birthday production.
We do of course need the men just as much as the women for this production so please do not be put off by the thought that this is a female strong cast.  There are some substantial characters for the men to aim for as well.

Murder Mystery Read through

Ottershaw Players have been asked to perform a Supper Evening Murder Mystery at Pirbright Village Hall in aid of Knowle Hill School (a special school in Pirbright).  This will take place on:

Saturday, 20th April 2013

We therefore thought that we would also organise a couple of supper evenings at Brook Hall on:

Friday, 12th and Saturday, 13th April 2013

Danny Sparkes will be directing “A Blow To The Head”, and hopes that you will attend the read-through on:

Tuesday, 5th March 2013 at 7.30pm and The Castle Pub, Ottershaw

NODA Accolade for Excellence and Achievement in Drama

Congratulations to Director Mark Holton and the cast and crew of “Rumours” that was performed last Summer at Brook Hall.  They were awarded The NODA Accolade for Excellence for the region at the NODA AGM last weekend.  In the absence of Mark who unfortunately couldn’t attend, the award was collected by cast and committee member Julia Stevens, accompanied by two other cast members, Chris Butterfield and Gary Griffiths.  The award was presented by E. Gloria Smith, who reviewed and nominated The Players for the award.  She said the production was beautifully presented with an excellent set on a small stage.  The cues and entrances needed to be good to make the production work and this was done very professionally by the whole cast.

Well done to everyone involved, a fantastic achievement!
