Hey everybody....

When the reaper calls...the first play of the year, actually has 2 M and 3 F, not the other way round....

The reading of the script will be Monday 23rd November at 7.30pm, and will be at the theatre, although Selina's idea of rehearsals at the pub may not stop at just rehearsals.....we might start having readings there too.....lol  .....just kidding!!

Hope I'll see quite a few people there, cos this script is damn funny...even tho the title is a bit grim  . If anyone would like a script to read please feel free to grab me at some point (Oo Urr)    and I'll see what I can organise.....course there is the little point of getting the scripts first like....lol

Aww the best fur ye aww....

I think I might only do something next year if we can have the reading and most of the rehearsals, and as many nights as possible after the show in the pub...

Mind you, if I spend any more time in the Lochlands, they might have to give me a job!

Any and all are welcome to come along, even if you haven't acted on stage before but feel you'd like to give it a go....its always good to see new faces  ( and old ones of course  )

I'm looking forward to this one...gonna bring the house down..
