Ladies Day by Amanda Whittington
Directed by Julie Petrucci and Chris Shinn
In the summer of 2005, for one year only, Royal Ascot moved north! This is the backdrop for Amanda Whittington's exuberant comedy drama about four female fish factory filleters from Hull who decide to take a celebratory day trip to the races.
Work, love and life seem mundane for Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda, or are they? The four decide to celebrate the imminent early retirement of their co-worker, Pearl, and get all dolled up and head off to the races. We all know that having a little flutter on the horses is more a game of chance and good luck, and that is what the girls have as they arrive without tickets. But as fate would have it, Linda finds a purse with entry tickets in it, and they use them. As the day goes on and the champagne is consumed, each discloses that little piece of their lives that they have kept hidden. They also come across a variety of characters, from an arrogant TV pundit to a sensitive jockey. Choosing random horses named after Tony Christie hits, the four ladies place an accumulator bet, and if their luck holds, they just might hit the jackpot! Place your bets to find out!
Julie Petrucci and Chris Shinn direct this entertaining comedy, with the following cast:
| Pearl | Christine Easterfield |
| Jan | May Withers |
| Linda | Vicki Hingley |
| Shelley | Kattreya Scheurer-Smith |
| Joe | John Meredith |
| Jim | Chas Barclay |
| Patrick | Michael Husband |
| Barry | Tim Boden |

Peter Pan by Stephen and Rachael Humpfries
Directed by Emma Bolton-Luckie
This year we're doing something a bit different - a panto version of Peter Pan! The classic JM Barrie tale of the boy who wouldn't grow up is given a panto twist, in which Smee has become Mrs Smee, Captain Hook's Nanny, but the Lost Boys, Tinkerbell, Wendy, John and Michael are all as they ever were.
Emma Bolton-Luckie directs, with Musical director Rosin O'Shea and choreographer Katherine Maltby. Open auditions will take place at Tillage Hall on Sunday 22nd September from 2-5pm. For more details, please contact Emma here
Note that as with all adaptations of Peter Pan, half the author's royalties are paid to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
