Summer Production
February, 2011
Play readings have been continuing on Tuesday evenings and the chosen script is “Allo Allo” – the stage version of the popular TV show. Myra is directing and is busy establishing a production team, with performances proposed for Tuesday evenings in July and August. Auditions will be held in March after Myra returns from her holiday (potentially Tuesday 15th), but in the meantime we are continuing to meet on most Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm in the Club HQ to read the script, work on the many accents the script requires, and watch DVDs of the TV shows etc, to help prepare. Any offers of help, or interest in participating to Myra or Seb please.

OK Corral gets rave reviews in NODA Magazine
January, 2011
This is a write up on our recent pantomime that appeared in NODA magazine.
“PANTO AT THE O.K. CORRAL” - Director: Karen Dolan-Smith Choreography Kate Parry & Paula Carr
“Starlight served up a real change to the traditional pantomime we were used to with this western style panto. One was immediately transported to the mid-west where the Sherriff of Small Holding villainously portrayed by John Roberts undertook get his hands on valuable land owned by Winnie Pegg. This role was a new avenue for Paul Dunn who made the most of his lucrative role. There were many well-known characters in this piece, rather too many to mention individually– Kate Parry as Diamond Lil whose saloon saw much of the action. Tom Parry and Alana Price as Clint Westwood and Calamity Jane respectivefully were of course the hero and heroin. I must mention Lightning, the pantomime horse – excellently played by Hannah Dolan-Smith and Peter Margetts.
The musical numbers were well thought out, choreographed and performed with support from the Gaynor Owen Dancers. The Can Can in the second act being a highlight. Polished contribution form Junior Chorus- Spydrs, they knew every word and movement – well done. Costumes were of the period and one must congratulate Peter Weston on the design and construction of the eye-catching backcloths, assisted by Jason Hudgell, they made such a terrific difference to the production as a whole.
A familiar phrase during the performance was ‘A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do’ and this certainly applied to this production as everyone did what they had to do and did it very well.
Thank you Starlight once again and Congratulations to all cast and helpers.”
