FROM THE CHAIRMAN... Good Evening... Welcome to the Queen Mother Theatre and our production of ‘Oh, What a Lovely War’. There are many challenges facing musical theatre groups such as ours. Not least of which is the rising cost of putting on a show which is why we have started to perform only one show per year at the Gordon Craig Theatre. Obviously the Queen Mother Theatre is much smaller than the Gordon Craig but that isn’t a bad thing. Putting on a show in this more intimate venue is enabling us to consider the opportunity to put on rarely performed pieces which don’t necessarily work in a large theatre. This is how we arrived at our choice for tonight’s show. ‘Oh, What a Lovely War’ is a true ensemble piece with all of us in the show assuming many roles and characters. It’s great to see some of our members who often prefer to stay in the chorus step forward into the limelight for the numerous character roles. We are delighted to be working with the Territorial Army and the Royal British Legion, who have helped to organise local cadets to sell poppies at each of our performances. I hope you enjoy this evening’s show and look forward to seeing you at our next show ‘Annie Get Your Gun’ at the Gordon Craig Theatre in the Spring.
