Great Memories of "The Memory Of Water"!
|
|
Our May production, "The Memory Of Water" by Shelagh Stephenson may be over, but what a show it was!
We'd like to thank our wonderful audiences for their support and appreciation, and we hope you were blown away by the efforts of Lynne, her cast and the unsung heroes behind the scenes who brought this all together. Check out our photo gallery opposite! Details of our next production should be available soon, so watch this space, or follow us on our social media pages (just click on the links above). If you want to get involved more directly, why not come and join us? |
Playgoers' AGM - Wednesday 18th July
It's a vital time of the Playgoers calendar, when we all meet to celebrate the year just gone, and to set the wheels in motion for more success over the next 12 months.
This year, several long-standing Committee members are deservedly taking a break after their huge contributions, or are coming to the end of their terms of office. To continue, our constitution requires us to have a Committee of 8 members, including 3 Officers.
Crucially, as Ros and Anne are either coming to the end of their terms of office (or moving away from the area!), we will need to fill these two Officer vacancies:
But other roles include Social Organiser and Social Media/IT. All job specs are available to members on Google Drive (just ask if you need help locating them). Even existing members who are hoping to stay on will need re-electing, so in truth we have 8 posts to fill. Why not get involved and add your own fresh ideas to the mix? There's plenty of advice and support available from current and past members of the Committee.
Even if you're not a Playgoers member, but are interested in getting involved in the running of the group, why not get in touch? We'd be delighted to welcome you to the group in any capacity.

Another Huge Success!
|
Our November 2017 production, Alan Ayckbourn's "A Chorus Of Disapproval", directed by Lesley Hart, was another triumph for Playgoers.
With great audiences each evening, including sell-outs on Friday and Saturday, this will count as one of the group's most successful shows in recent memory. A wonderful cast and brilliant technicals supporting the drama and songs made this a production full of fun, colour and poignancy. Check out some of the pictures opposite! |

Another 2017 Highlight! 'The Lady in the Van' by Alan Bennett With a full audience every night and ending with rapturous applause I think we can safely say our production of Alan Bennett's 'The Lady in the Van' was a success! Thank you to all who came to watch and supported us throughout the rehearsal period. We couldn't do it without you. |

Each year APTG nominates a charity to support. This year we are supporting Child Bereavement UK, a Buckinghamshire-based charity that supports families and educates professionals when a child dies or is dying and when a child is facing bereavement.
Their aim is to ensure that every child, young person, parent and family member across the UK can access the support they need to rebuild their lives after the devastation of child bereavement. With your help, we can be there to guide families through the long and difficult journey of grief, for as long as they need it. If you would like further information, please visit https://www.childbereavementuk.org/. |
