THACKLEY TRUMPIT JUNE 2014 IDLE AND THACKLEY THEATRE GROUP

IDLE AND THACKLEY THEATRE GROUP

As rehearsals for our production of Blackadder Goes Forth get under way, it got me thinking just how many people out there are aware of the existence of our theatre group, and the locality of our “Little Theatre”. We are a small but very talented, versatile group pf people, who work very hard  for most of the year, so we can make contributions to charities. For example, Alyson & Sara, who played the leading rolls in our last production The Odd Couple, and I might add got rave reviews, are this time taking charge of the lighting and sound box for this production, similarly Liam who was in charge of sound and lighting for them is now taking on the part of Blackadder, and Emma who was in the cast is directing the production.
For over 25 years, we have rented the top floor of Idle & Thackley Conservative Club, where over those years we have with the help of many knowledgeable, and experienced people constructed a stage, with real stage curtains, added a fully equipped sound and lighting box, made other rooms into dressing rooms, laid a new floor in the theatre area, built in a kitchen, and added a stairlift and  a ramp from the car park, for easier access for patrons who have difficulty climbing the stairs, and many other things to make sure our audiences have an enjoyable  evening in the theatre in their own area. Our present genius Bob is at the moment turning our stage into a trench somewhere near Passchendaele, in 1917, and I can assure you it will be as realistic as possible.
