So time to put our feet up for a few weeks then (not!)

Footloose

An energetic rehearsal tonight – much “footloose” footwork!

The first run through without stopping took just 1 hour and few minutes – of course we were missing a few songs!

First Readthrough

DSC_7096And what a night it was – characters with accents  from every part of the world as we all tried to find a comfortable character.
One wonders what will eventually be chosen.  A good night seemed to have been had by all.. Movement and Music on Thursday!

A Pantomime Update

A report of Tuesday’s activities was received from Madam Gertie of Oklahoma and reads as
follows

Baron Smithy found himself anything but ‘hard up’ for questionable positions with the chorus girls. Taking morven from behind & enjoying a nuzzle in lesley’s bosom-its a hard job but someone’s got to do it!

It’s all good clean fun in Panto Land

The First Week of Cinderella Rehearsals is complete.

prev112And what a week it has been  Roddy and Michael falling over each other  added  acrobatics from then and some comment about waxing… Steevie getting lost in Iona’s bosom….  much singing and script learning, Pirncey and Dandini getting to grips with their parts!  Big crowd scenes and Morven fainting all over the place – That’s an Oban Pantomime for you!

What will next week bring? Stay tuned for further updates!

And So it Begins….

Tuesday 30th of August and its into panto rehersal proper – 7.15 for 7.30 at Park School – dont forget your scripts and pencils to mark things up with!
