We would like to welcome members and potential new members to come along and find out more about how they can get involved in the next show which will take place in 2025. May 21st - 23rd (7.30pm) and 24th May Matinee (2.30pm). Our variety shows are always very popular with our audiences.

The variety show is a collaboration between Marilyn Webb and Ian Clark and will include comedy sketches, singing and dancing. It is a great opportunity for anyone who would like to take to the stage as there will be lots to get involved with.

There will be an opportunity to read through some of the comedy sketch scripts and hear about what songs and dances will be involved.

Please come along and give it a try. We are a welcoming group and would love to have some more local members.

We will be meeting at Witcombe and Bentham Village Hall on Thursday 12th December at 7:30 pm

Here are some photos from our previous variety shows.

Thanks so much to everyone who supported us in our event production of ‘Murdered to Death’ by Peter Gordon.

It was a huge success, selling more than 270 tickets over the 4 performances with some fabulous feedback from our audiences. It really was a lot of fun to put on with so many laughs.

So much work was put in by Director and Producer Janet Clark, and the rest of the cast, front of house and backstage crew. What a fabulous set design and build by Malcolm Webb.

We’re all looking forward to our next production in May 2025. A variety show put together by Marilyn Webb and Ian Clark called ‘With a Smile and a Song’ which I’m sure will delight the audience. It will be a fabulous opportunity to show off some of the talents of our group. We will welcome new members who would like to join us and more details will follow if you would be interested in a role and when you can come and find out a bit more in December.

More photos of the last show will be coming soon after a little break.

We have been overwhelmed with the response to our latest production ticket sales with Friday night selling out the weekend before and over 60 tickets sold for all of the other shows. For our second production at this new venue to us it’s completely unexpected. We’d like to thank all of our new audience and those that have followed us in our previous guise as Churchdown Players.

Opening night was a great success and lovely to see such a full and responsive audience on the first performance. It made it a lot of fun for us as well. Congratulations to the 9 who guessed the murderer correctly and to the 1 of those who was the lucky winner of the champagne. 🥂🍾

Well done Malcolm and the rest of the cast in such a detailed set. We had a fun photo shoot during dress rehearsals to make the most of set and costumes and will have some good memories to take away. These are some of the photos for your enjoyment.

A very long Saturday for us with a record 12 hour set build!
Lots of fun and lots of hard work. A rest today until this evening that is when we have a full technical rehearsal. Very exciting.

We still have a good availability of tickets for Wednesday and Thursday night and a few left for Saturday

If you are avid followers you will recognise the majority of this cast from our first production at Witcombe of ‘Out of Focus’ by Peter Gordon or from other shows under our previous guise of Churchdown Players, including ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’ and the variety show ‘Happy Days are Here Again’. We also welcome newcomer to our group Tim Bray. We hope you enjoy our production.
