THACKLEY TRUMPIT APRIL 2014 Idle & Thackley Theatre Group

Idle & Thackley Theatre Group  

When I wrote in last months Trumpit are production of The Odd Couple (Female version) was forthcoming, well it is still forthcoming. Due to quite a few problems, not the least being a member of the cast having a car accident (she is fit and well again) we decided to postpone the production until later. It is now taking place in our Little Theatre on Westfield Lane, Idle from Tuesday 22^nd to Friday 25^th April at 7.30pm. Tickets are £10.00 and £8.00 for concessions. Bookings can be made online at http:/www.ittg.com.uk or from ticketsource.co.uk or by calling 01274 411080.

In June, it is the turn of our men to take the stage as we mark the 100^th anniversary of the beginning of World War 1 by presenting by kind permission of Richard Curtis, and the BBC, Blackadder Goes Forth. The Original script by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton has been adapted for our stage by Alyson Hunter and Bob Cochrane. A donation will be made to Comic Relief.

Our junior section ITKids will also be taking to the stage with their own show in August.

We are very proud of our very talented group of young people, two of them Lauren Baxter and Joe Cross both pupils of Immanuel College are taking part in charity events over the summer. Lauren who is 15 is having her hair shaved off in July. At an age when appearance is everything, we think Lauren is very brave. Joe who is 12 is also being brave by taking part in the Three Peaks with his Dad. Both Lauren & Joe are being sponsored in aid of cancer charities.
