A little letter

Hello!

With the show now less than one week away, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the effort you’ve put in over the last few months. I also want to explain the plan for next week and what bits you all need to bring with you on Monday evening.

Firstly, the rehearsal schedule for next week goes like this:

Monday – Tech run – 7.30pm for 7.45pm start
Tuesday – Dress run – 7.30pm for 7.45pm start
Thursday – 7.15pm for 7.45pm start
Friday – 7.15pm for 7.45pm start
Saturday – 7.15pm for 7.45pm start

Please arrive promptly; we need to do full runs of the play on Monday and Tuesday to check everything works and everyone knows what they’re doing!

Costume everyone needs to bring:

Black trousers
White shirt
Black or white t-shirt

Any individual costumes should have been discussed with Judy (if not, do it now!!) and placed on a hanger with your name on it on the costume rail ready for Tuesday’s dress run. If there are any bits of costume that you are sourcing yourself, please bring them with you on Monday night ready for Tuesday so we can start on time.

A date for the AGM will be confirmed over the next week, but I anticipate it will be held sometime in November.

Final and most important point for next week: enjoy it!

Thanks to you all,

Rachel

Christmas Rehearsal 01/12/09

Hi everyone! We are meeting tonight at Lea Brook at 7.45pm to rehearse for our Christmas Show.

Martyn is with us this evening, so we will run the script and the music together for the first time. I have also started to put together some costumes and props as the performance is only three Saturdays away!!

If you have a speaking part it is important you attend this evening so we can have a proper run through.

Thanks everyone, and see you there!

Christmas Show 2009

For Christmas 2009, we decided to move away from our traditional concert and have a go at a Christmas show. It has been written by Rachel Radford and most of the members of MADS are involved in the production.

“A Black Country Christmas Nativity” tells the story of a group of Black Country tourists who arrive in Nazareth at the time of Mary’s pregnancy. After the collapse of TiptonJet, they find themselves stranded. Nine months later, they are called to Bethlehem for a census and become unlikely onlookers onto the events on the night of Jesus’ birth.

The evening will begin at 6.30pm on December 19th with traditional Black Country food followed at 7.30pm by the show itself.
