Group Eight is hard at work rehearsing for our Spring Play. It is a comedy written by William Shakespeare, David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jr and is the story of fraught rehearsals, and many hilarious problems facing the cast and technical crew.

Group Eight look forward to seeing you at one of our three performances.

Group Eight looks forward to seeing you at our Panto.

A pantomime has been chosen and a licence obtained to perform it. We will be keeping which one under our hat for a while.

The members of the group who attended the recent read through think that it is very promising and are looking forward to taking part in it.

Jenny Campbell will be taking the lead Directors role for this production.

If you are interested in taking part in the panto please contact us by email at groupeight1973@outlook.com.

We had great fun performing Curtain Up! by Peter Quilter last week and we have had some great feedback from those who came to see it. We’d like to thank everyone who came to see it as we had great audiences at all three performances.

Group Eight would also like to thank the team at the Hall and the Bar Staff for helping the event go well. And finally we would like to thank Play Group for allowing Group Eight to store items in the hall and leave the stage up for performance days.

The group is now having a rest before the Christmas production is decided. We hope to have some group get togethers watching one or two of our old shows on DVD for some of the newer recruits to get an idea of what has been done in the past.

After a play reading the group has decided that they would like to perform Curtain Up! by Peter Quilter

Curtain Up! is the story of five women who inherit equal shares in a dilapidated theatre and plan to bring it back to life again. They try various fund-raising schemes but their most ambitious is to hold a concert featuring local talent and a world-famous star who agrees to appear for no fee! However, their plans go awry and it’s a race to keep their audience from guessing the truth of the matter.

A final play reading will be held on the 18th of January and then rehearsals will start. The play will be on stage early in May so look out for our adverts and postings letting you know when tickets are available
