Summer Lovin'
This year we decided to put together a show with challenging and exciting pieces from the worlds of Broadway musicals and high theatre. Consequently we find Shakespeare rubbing shoulders with "Chicago" and Alan Ayckbourn sharing authorial credits with The Beatles. Just about everyone had an opportunity to headline one of the 12 'acts' and a wonderful show it was too!
