Sweet Charity
September 2007 RAOS Hornblower
I'm delighted that Claire has decided to add an article of mine to the September 2007 RAOS Hornblower. Inspired by my time behind the scenes, it started off as an entry for the 2007 Ripon Writers' Group Theatre in the Round competition. Unsung Heroes is a tribute to the hardworking folk the audience doesn't give much thought to - unless something goes wrong. It can also be read in AuthorsDen
The 2007 Autumn Concert
With a Song in my Heart will be presented at the following venues:
Thursday 4th and Friday 5th October at the Bowling Club; Saturday 6th October at Sawley Village Hall; Friday 12th October at Bishop Monkton Village Hall. All performances begin at 7.30 p.m.
Oklahoma
In April 2007, RAOS put on Oklahoma at Harrogate Theatre. I wasn't on stage this year. I offered to chaperone the under-sixteens. It was no hardship. They're a talented group of young people and were a pleasure to spend time with.
Fiddler on the Roof
