It has been a busy few months at the Bannister Chapel in Shuttlewood, the group’s largest asset and the location for scenery construction and storage for props and costumes. Renovations to the toilet area in the Bannister Chapel   As part of our ongoing programme of maintenance, repairs and improvements the toilet and kitchen areas have been decorated and a new room created to enable our props to be stored and catalogued. Renovations to the kitchen area in the Bannister Chapel   While our members try to do as much as they can, if you (or someone you know) would be willing to provide expertise, time, equipment or materials to assist us with this project please contact the group .  We would be willing to display your name or the name of your company as part of our Front of House display, programmes and publicity communications for our subsequent productions as a thank you.

We were proud to have received the award for the best pantomime for East Midlands region 2 at the recent NODA East Midlands Awards day for our production of ‘Aladdin’. The ceremony, which took place on Sunday 14th June at Loughborough Town Hall, also saw the group nominated in the Youth category for region 2 for the Youth Section’s production of ‘Guys & Dolls Jr’ – the first time we have been nominated for this category. The chance to be nominated for awards such as this is one benefit we gain from being affiliated to NODA, the National Operatic and Dramatic Association, who also offer advice, information and workshops to amateur dramatics groups throughout the country.
