Our 2006 Programme

Thanks to all who came to the Welsh Church Hall to help us choose our programme of productions from now until October. Here's what was chosen...

Teechers by John Godber
Auditions on 15 March, performances Whitsun half-term, directed by Shauntelle Benjamin and Carla MacLean

Galileo by Bertolt Brecht
Auditions May, performances end of July, directed by Tim Saward

The Dresser by Ronald Harwood
Auditions July, performances end of Sept, directed by Chris Pethers and Jan Prendergast

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Auditions July, performances October Half-Term, directed by Sacha Walker and Sonja Wardle

We also have the potential for some radio-style plays as a one-off at the time of the Leytonstone Festival (mid-July). More news on these soon!

Savoy Thrill

Thanks to everyone who made it to the Savoy on Sat 4 Feb (and thanks to all the friends/family members that some of you brought along). The organisers were delighted with our bit of improvised street theatre, and we have made £500 for the group - enough to fund one of this year's increased number of productions, or to pay for the new storage we need. So please all feel immensely proud of yourselves.

If people have photos of the event that came out very nicely, please email them to me with unseemly haste, as Sonja has organised to have a piece run about the event in the Waltham Forest Guardian. We'll no doubt also feature some of the pics on the website.

If people enjoyed it and would like to do more (as always, your feedback is very welcome), we could see if there is the opportunity for an occasional repeat. I got chatting to the "paparazzi" guys who do this sort of stuff regularly, and they asked if we could keep in touch - always good to have another income stream, I think!

If anyone finds the two missing disposable cameras, just give me a shout and I'll get them returned to the YSG, who are keen to develop the photos from them.

Once again, thanks to everyone for performing with passion and pro-actively supporting the group. It is much appreciated.
