- Curry Night - Thursday 13th February - If you feel like blowing the cobwebs away, how about joining us for a curry at The Coriander in Amersham? Please let Richard know if you'd like to join so he can book the table.
- Directors Workshop - Sunday 9th February 2020 - Ros, Richard, Jan G and Lesley are very kindly hosting a Directors Workshop for us in February.

It's a free event which promises to be a lot of fun, led by some of our best regular directors. If you can make it, please let Anne know.

Directors Wanted!
Although we are delighted to have found a director for our May 2020 production, this shouldn't disguise the fact that there is a shortage of new talent emerging to fill this role in future.
If you have ever harboured thoughts of giving directing a go, why not now? As above, we are running a Directors Workshop on Sunday 9th February, run by some of our most experienced directors, to help you discover what it takes to bring a play to the stage, and what help is available from your Committee.
The Committee is always there to help you, and can offer as much support as you need or want, including:
As a director you'd have a dedicated Committee Liaison, there to help advise you every step of the way. Don't forget, we also have several experienced directors in our membership who would be delighted to offer their advice and support.
Go on, give it a go!
