Carlton Dramatic Society

Head on back to the early 60's with ne'er-do-welljack-the-lad Alfie, and check out the groovy new Alfie webpage. Photos coming soon!

The very worst of leg-breaking to all the cast and crew of'Two', which starts its run tonight! All of you have worked really hard, not least Debbie Fowler, our beloved director, so it's bound to be a fantastic show. Go along and witness it for yourself!

Relive those heady days back in 2003, when the Devil rode out, wearing a very nice suit, and when marketing brought Hell on Earth, and everyone loved it.

There are so many exciting events coming up in the next few months, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I am producing the workshops on 3rd and 4th of March 2005 with Paul Flannery, so I really hope lots of people want to either act, stage manage, direct or help out front of house.

The workshops earlier this year were a great success, with a real mix of plays, sketches and new material written by members. For new members who don't know the Workshops are two very relaxed 'showcase' evenings of Carlton's talent, where the audience can drink wine and eat nibbles as they are entertained! (it helps when they get v drunk!)

We need to have a few rehearsals under our belts before Christmas so there will be two special evenings starting the week after Two for members to get together with Paul and I so we can sort out what is to be included, and running orders etc.

So do come along to Room C&D on Thursday 2nd December and Monday 6th December. For people who are hoping to direct - we have three new members who have been attending my Monday night improv group so do please keep an open mind to casting until we get together to give new people a chance of being involved. However, if you have already got any thoughts for something you'd like to perform or direct feel free to email me at lucie.morris@dailymail.co.uk, so we can start getting a flavour of what people would like to do.

Many thanks! Love, Lucie

Hi Everyone!

A Red carpet, Cristal Champagne, DJs, Ballgowns and tiaras (but no tantrums purleeze!) Would you welcome a night with the Stars? Planning is now underway for our Star Studded Gala next year - put the date in your diaries NOW! Saturday 9th April 2005. Wimbledon Venue to be advised.

Along with the usual wonderful gourmet sustenance, exquisite refreshments, a number of special guests hopefully will be in attendance. We understand that some may well be prepared to travel from afar to be with us! :O) At the moment, invitations have been extended to Elvis 'The King' Presley, Shania Twain, Andrea Corr, Tom Jones and Bjork to name just a few!

Musical Maestro Mr Mike A will be doing the music; Masterful Matt and Incredible Ian will be compering the evening. But would YOU like to be a STAR for one night only? Would YOU like to join that esteemed star quality company? Would YOU like to say "Tonight Matthew and Ian, I am going to be...!"

Okay! - the plan is that whilst we are all Stars in our own right, some of us have that extra special talent to sing and be someone else. Who would you like to be? Give it some thought and let us know! If you want to be your own wonderful self and sing - tell us! If it all works and time permits, we will plan for a naughty girls' chorus and might even throw in a boys' band too. If any of this interests you, please get in touch with Kathie Arundell (in confidence) and we will take it from there. There are limited guest slots - so don't wait - make a decision NOW and join the fun!

The plans are underway for a Gala that, with your participation, will be a Star-Studded night - one never to be forgotten!

Congratulations to the cast and crew of the Carlton's last show, Alfie. It was a charming, poignant and touching glimpse of a bygone world. Despite sweltering temperatures in the theatre, the audience laughed, winced and cried along with Alfie and his serial womanising. There were great performances all round, the direction showed great affection, and the simple set was flexible and evocative. Another great production from the Carlton - well done all!

Turn down the lights, put those headphones on and beprepared to be spooked by Macbeth's apparitions. Go here for the sounds.

Relive the Dr and Mrs Faustus experience with the Faustus pages - complete with pictures!

All the gossip from Verona's best celeb mag - pop along here for the Two Gentlemen of Verona webpage. Photos coming soon!

Dating back to 2002, we finally have a page for the fantastic directorial debut of Jeff Graves - Trivial Pursuits! This was a great show, featuring a fab cast with excellent comic timing. Head on over here for cast lists and so on.

If anybody has any photographs, please send them to the committee.
