What’s on?


Rehearsed Reading

The Ice House’ written by our very own Mick Connell and some other pieces will be presented on Saturday 16th May in Drama Studio Rehearsal Room 3.

Details of the day:

  • Meet at 10:00am at rehearsal room 3, read the plays in the morning, rehearse them in the afternoon after a lunch break, then perform them with scripts in the evening after a break for tea. 
  • The evening performance at 7:30pm in rehearsal room 3 will be open to friends, family, members of SUDS and the generally curious. Refreshments will be provided and donations encouraged.

This may not be just a one-off event, as one of the plays that featured at last year’s event is due to be performed by SUDS at the Buxton Fringe in July. So your participation could lead to greater things!

To help us cover the costs of the day, including hire of the rehearsal room, we’re asking those taking part for the day to make a voluntary contribution (suggested £10).

If you’d like to take part for the day, please let Ian know by Thursday 30th April: ian.gledhill11@gmail.com

There’s no need to let us know if you intend to come to the evening performance. Just turn up!

Looking forward to seeing you. New members particularly welcome.
