Welcome…

Welcome, indeed, to the new Stage 2 Drama Youth Section.

As those of you know who’ve been following our last few performances, a year ago we welcomed Tom to our ranks, and, at Christmas, we added Georgia, both of whom have put in sterling work on our behalf.

However, it’s hard to find plays that contain a suitable mix of geriatrics and neophytes to make full use of our new members. In addition, more youngsters have expressed an interest. This may mean that there are enough younger members to cast their own plays as well as help the oldies with theirs.

Hence Stage 2 decided to set up a Youth Section which will meet on Fridays, from 7pm, at Berrow Village Hall.

New year… New play…

Welcome to 2013. New year; New play; New enthusiasm!

Following on from a rather disappointing year (in terms of aspirations rather than actual performance) Stage 2 emerges into the New Year with enthusiasm rekindled by the (slightly unexpected) success of the Christmas 2012 production.

It was always going to be a challenge, with the performance dates so close to Christmas, as not only did the prospective audience have other things to do on the cusp of the Festive Season, so did the members! A number of situations (including two – more – members moving away and several illnesses – after all, we’re none of us getting any younger!) threatened to take away a number of our key helpers and performers. This was offset somewhat by Tom (in his second production with us) and Georgia: two youngsters who – we hope – will form the core of an age renaissance for the group. All we need now are another half-dozen less-then-wrinklies and we’re sorted!

In the event, the production was a huge success, and all the comments we received were positive: the food was superb; the acting excellent (even given the last-minute drafting in of a couple to fill in for two stalwarts who couldn’t make it) and the quiz was a success, despite causing many competitors some considerable head-scratching!

The Group AGM discussed our next step and we decided to try to repeat the Christmas formula – with adjustments for the change of seasons, of course – for our spring production, so we are currently looking at a wide range of short plays which can be strung together to make a production. Shorter plays definitely impose less strain on individual performers (anyone who has tried to learn 80 or 90 pages of an Ayckbourn play will know what we mean!) and generally have simpler production requirements, too. A perfect opportunity for someone looking to dabble their toes in the slightly murky waters of Amateur Dramatics! So, if you fancy giving acting a try, or even if you prefer to help with costumes, props, set, technicals, production, publicity etc, etc, etc, then please come along to a Friday evening meeting (8-10 pm, Berrow Village Hall) and give us a try! Alternatively, call us on 01278 795619 and speak to us or leave a message with:

  • Your name
  • Your Telephone number
  • What you’d be interested in helping with

and we’ll call you back.

Next Show:

For our next production (November 17, 18 and 19 2016), it's back to our tried and tested format of short comedy drama pieces, food and a quiz. The whole thing is on a medical theme and gathered under the title: 'Funny You Should Ask, Doctor...'. The production will burst onto the unsuspecting residents of Berrow and Burnham on Thursday 17th, Friday 18th and Saturday 19th November 2016.

If you fancy joining us to help out with the myriad of backstage tasks please feel free to come along to any Friday evening meeting (normally from 8 to 10pm at Berrow Village Hall). You can call us on 01278 795619 (leave message - we'll call you back) or complete the "Contact Us" Form - see below for link.

Our Last show was a comedy thriller: "A Tomb With a View" by Norman Robbins which culminated in performances on 9th, 10th and 11th June 2016...

Sorry if you didn't catch it: we hope to see you in November 2016!

If you saw the show - please comment / give us feedback - it was great to see so many friends and new faces.
