We start the new Ember Players year by thanking Anne Segall for her marvellous hard working tenure as Chairman. On stage, backstage and directing all done with the commitment she shows to everything. It was fitting that the season ended so successfully with her production of A Man For All Seasons.
We are now in the capable hands of Elaine Sesemann and a Committee with some new additions, Julia Cutcliffe and Lisa Mills join Steve Clunn, Nick Graham, Colin Jones, Clare Woolett, Stuart Williams and Gillian Beaney. Welcome all.
So now Members come and enjoy the Summer social activities. The first is a sociable play reading. Relax with a glass of wine while we read ‘ Lilies on the Land ‘. This play devised from more than 150 letters from the land army in the 1940’s involves 32 characters and should make for any entertaining evening. Having enjoyed that we hope you will come to the 2nd play reading on the 9th July.
Then it’s that time of year when we visit Chichester, to picnic in the park by the theatre and then enjoy the production of ‘Mack & Mabel’. To those who have reserved your tickets I will deliver them to you. To reserve the last 2 tickets phone me a.s.a.p. on 0208 398 6470.
Very good easyfundraising news. 3 Ember Players have signed up already. Thank you.
Finally The Ember Players would like to thank Pat Roddis for collating the Newsletter from all the sections and including our booking forms and everything else we ask her to do.
