Kilmacolm Dramatic Society<br />
No sooner does one production finish than another begins!<br />
As we go to press we are making arrangements for our Spring play & hope to be in full swing shortly after the New Year.<br />
Further announcements will be made regarding the chosen piece & auditions nearer the time.<br />
‘Jack & the Beanstalk’ was another resounding success with near capacity audiences for every show & the unveiling<br />
of hitherto hidden talent in the form of not just actors, but singers & dancers too, not to mention considerable<br />
constructional expertise behind the scenes. To everyone who gave so freely of their time & effort, a huge ‘Thank<br />
You!’<br />
‘Thank You’ too to every one of you who attended & helped to make the whole thing go with a swing, for hissing &<br />
booing & singing along, & answering the baddy back, for scrambling for ‘gold’ & alerting the goodies to what was going<br />
on behind them. We hope to see you all back again next year, if not sooner. Why not give the Spring play a try?<br />
Beith Arts Sunday Concerts<br />
50th Anniversary Year<br />
Our last concert in 2014 was a group of six first-class musicians, who call<br />
themselves “Mr McFalls Chamber”. They played us a programme largely of<br />
Polish tangos, and we were told the background of this trend, which was very<br />
interesting. The tangos played were slower and sadder than the S.American<br />
variety we know and have a pathos about them which is an intrinsic part of<br />
their character. They, and the other items on the programme, were played with<br />
great skill by the group. We loved all of it, but it was the tangos and their history<br />
which stayed with us. An excellent and informative concert.<br />
The first concert of <strong>2015</strong> will be a return visit from our old friends “Coro Alba”.<br />
They will be singing solos, duets and choruses from popular operas and<br />
musicals, and we know from experience that we will go home humming our<br />
favourite song. This group is a favourite with our audience, and they will be just<br />
the thing on a dreary winter afternoon to lift the spirit!<br />
This concert, the fourth in our 50th Anniversary Year Season, will be held<br />
on Sunday, the 18th <strong>January</strong> <strong>2015</strong> at 2,30 pm in Beith Community Centre,<br />
King’s Road, Beith, KA15 2BQ. All are welcome, prices are £11/£9 for adults,<br />
£3 for students and children (pay at the door). At the interval refreshments<br />
will be available. New audience members are very welcome, you will find out<br />
audience very friendly and chatty, and the committee members will look after<br />
you. It will be a great concert - don’t miss it!<br />
