The Jean Pratt building is having extensive renovations done, so with the upheaval and uncertainty of dates that entails, the Daytimers, regretfully, have decided to put on only 1 performance this year. We are extending our usual 2 week season to 3 weeks and promise we will be back to our 2 production best in 2011!
Once again, Kay McAllan has come up with a script specially adapted to our talents. This time it is Snow White that will have our creative touch put to it. The show has been cast and rehearsals are underway. The season runs from Monday August 16 to Friday September 3 with public performances on Saturday August 28.
All Bookings for Snow White can be made by contacting Chic Currie on 32889783 or 0409725315.
For information please contact the Convenor Anne England.
If you are interested in being involved in some way or have any friends who are interested, would you please email our Convenor Anne England and let her know asap. She is really looking forward to hearing from you.
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.
