Much fun was had at Birmingham’s annual Panto Horse Race and Scott did us proud as the Crescent entrant.
It was Open Day at the Crescent Theatre today where the doors were opened to the curious public and shown around. Whilst there they could purchase vintage costumes or scripts, go on a backstage tour or - as Scott did - get their face painted by a professional make up artist. Actually, Scott was the theatres entrant in the annual Birmingham Panto Horse race and as the Christmas show is ‘Wind In the Willows’ Scott went as Toad.
Well Hello!
Moley here! (to my friends, you included) Doesn’t time fly in the above ground world of yours. It is quite a while since rehearsals began. Christmas is just around the corner. Then we are into January and the start of the Show… The field mice will be carol singing before long… mind you,t here will be plenty of songs for you to sing-along to when you come to see me and all my friends from January 7th!
Over the next few weeks I am going to ask all my new friends from the River Bank to tell us all about themselves, Ratty, Badger and Toad; as well as Albert the Horse, The Gaolers Daughter, and Otter! Plus many more… Ratty is my very best friend, he was my first friend, Badger and I have a lot in common too, he lives underground, and always says it’s a much better night’s sleep down there!
Tickets for our show are on sale right now and selling fast, it would be a shame if you couldn’t make it to see us so make sure you don’t miss out. For more details check out the website at http://www.crescent-theatre.co.uk/Y2010/wind-in-the-willows.html
Well, I’m off for my nap. Drop by very soon for more from the cast and crew of The Wind In The Willows.
With less then 3 weeks to go until The Crescent hosts it Open Day, things are very busy but looking good!! With a massive Vintage Clothes sale to look around, you’ll be sure to find a retro bargain or vintage classic to make your friends jealous. How about bring them along?
If your friends hear so much about The Crescent through you, whether it be forthcoming productions, events and comedy nights, staging or lighting issues or simply how much fun you have, why not bring them along to join in on the 22nd November?! Share the experience, embrace the excitement and enjoy this event!
There will be plenty to see and do. And even more people to speak to! Directors and actors will be available to answer questions and share stories, give advice and show you around. If you fancy getting involved either on of offstage, there will be a person to help and explain where to begin.
With a Meet the Sections segment of the Open Day, you can meet the technicians responsible for lighting, props, sound and wardrobe if acting isn’t what you’re after. Mind you, if you want a taster of what it’s like to be on stage, why not get your photo taken in costume? You could be the next Toad of Toad Hall!!
With Winter approching, the nights are drawing in so what better way to occupy yourself then with a book or DVD curled up on the sofa with hot choclate in hand? The Crescent is also putting on a Book/DVD sale - as if all these activities mentioned above weren’t enough…Can’t wait!
The Crescent Youth Theatre is also performing their Confetti Chaos Showcase at 4pm and then again at 6pm on the Main Stage, so after a busy and enjoyable day, sit back, relax and be entertained.
Oh and silly me, I forgot to mention, it’s all FREE!!!!
