Shoreside Theatre’s production of The Hollow by Agatha Christie opened last night to a packed house. The two Saturday night performances are almost sold out, so don’t miss out.
Shoreside Theatre are also here on Monday and Tuesday evening next week holding auditions for the ever-popular Shakespeare in the Park season. Next year’s season will be their 21st in The PumpHouse Amphitheatre so its sure to be a special event.
If you’ve always liked the idea of taking part, pop along and register – they always have extras as well as the leads. See the Facebook Page for the event for more details.
With only a few seats left to Tim Bray Productions season of Badjelly the Witch, we are getting a few calls about the Restricted View Seats.
These are seats in the balcony areas where the view for smaller children (and even some adults) can be restricted by the safety rail. Generally we’d only recommend these seats for older children (6+)
To get an idea of what the view might be like have a look at the example photos on the Where To Sit page.
The PumpHouse Theatre 40th Anniversary Planning Meeting
We were thrilled at the turn out on Monday, 20 June from those who have stories to share about the history of The PumpHouse.
Next year will be the 40th anniversary of the theatre’s opening and we’re busily collecting photos, newspaper clippings, newsletters and memories from anyone with something to share.
At today’s meeting we heard about shovelling coal and selling it to fund the restoration, and the much-loved PumpHouse picnics. Some of the stars of the first ever music stage at The PumpHouse, Electra, were on hand to reminisce.
It was great to see so many familiar faces all keen to share and get involved.
As we get closer to our anniversary date on 18th and 19th May 2017, we hope to publish a book of photos and memories and create a short video of interviews. Lots of people have recommended we take a look at the possibility of Amazon publishing, considering they are a popular place to purchase books nowadays. All advice is welcome!
