Daytime Theatre Troupe History
1983
In the beginning........
Daytime Theatre Troupe was formed in 1983 when Jane Sheppard and Jan Paterson called a meeting for a group of young theatre “mums” to discuss how they could still be involved with theatre activities without going out at night to participate in theatre productions. Daytime Theatre Troupe’s first performance was Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy presented in January 1984 and the group has functioned happily and successfully ever since, providing youngsters with the magic and excitement of live theatre.
Many of the original “mums” are now grandmothers and are still involved and enjoying their time with daytime theatre troupe. Membership is predominantly female, but the occasional intrepid male has ventured into this enthusiastic group and has lived to tell the tale.
Daytime Theatre Troupe meet every Wednesday from 11.30am – 2.30pm in the Jean Pratt Building and perform two shows each year where wide-eyed youngsters are enthralled by the antics of fairy-tale characters that come alive in bright coloured costumes – characters that the children can interact with and meet after the show.
If you are interested in being part of Daytime Theatre Troupe and would like to know more, please ring Kay McAllan on 54643965 [h] 0439305658 [m].
