Drama in the Dale has come bursting into the New Year with great success! Auditions for \u201cThe Bonny Moorhen\u201d play where held in St Thomas\u2019 Church Hall on January 8th and local folk of Weardale (Alan Anderson, Ruth Haynes, Pat Davison, Mike and Lia Hamp, Jackie and Patrick Johnson, Ben Jackson, Laura Emerson, Tom Burton, Jonathon Liddle, Hannah Thompson and Jeremy Warr) are all now official members of the cast. I am pleased also to have the part of \u2018Keeper Beadle\u2019 in a comedy court scene. Whilst we were attending auditions the room next door was filled with a number of activities such as hand-bell ringing with Steve Robson and \u2018Green Screen Animation with Gareth Hudson, making projected film backgrounds for the set.<\/p>\n
AND the best news is that \u2018The Shed\u2019 in Unthank Park (Stanhope Agricultural Society\u2019s Showground) opens on February 1st to begin its transformation into the Unthank Theatre! Anyone wanting to help Joseph Robson and the set-building team can drop in any time between 10am and 10pm from Wednesday-Sunday from now until the play is finished!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
