We have just re-cast those parts that sadly change of circumstances prevented some original members continuing. We are thrilled to have such a talented group to proceed with as well as a great production team of Mark Evans, Lesley Olivia Van-Egmond and Kim Waldis-Sutton. We’ll be posting rehearsal photos as we proceed and are very much looking forward to our first rehearsal in over a year on Thursday 1st July 2022!
We are a friendly and enthusiastic performing arts society in Battle but welcome people from any of the surrounding towns. Even if you don’t wish to perform there are plenty of ways to be involved by helping out backstage, front of house, running the bar, set building, painting and costume making. Everyone welcome so please get in contact to find out more!
We rely on our members to keep us going but the bulk of the behind the scenes work, deciding productions, finding awesome directors, MD’s and choreographers and all aspects crucial to our operations are done by our committee: Chairman: Rob Dyer, Treasurer: Brian Grainger, Secretary: Debbie Scarboro, Wardrobe Mistress: Libby Grainger, Membership Secretary: Lucy Bishop, General Committee: Jo Flay, Adrian Collins, Charlotte Collins, Craig Gibbons, Yvette Cook
We are very luck to have won two prestigious NODA awards for two of our most recent productions of Made in Dagenham and Fiddler on the Roof. We pride ourselves on performing top class productions to a very high standard.
We found you for the first time last year. Fiddler on the roof. Oh my word, what a fantastic show! Still smile about that evening to this day 😀.
Really enjoyed 'Merrily' - knew nothing about it - a very interesting show and I imagine not an easy one to learn - tricky songs. Clever idea going back in time and I loved 'Our Time'. Well done all.
Gloriously camp, and provocative, Mel Brooks’ smash-hit musical, ‘The Producers’, was everything it promised to be.On a typically chilly night in Battle the musical directed by (Bob Murray) brought us all the glitz, glamour, and sleaze of New York’s Broadway to Battle.
BLOG had pulled the stops out with their production of The Drowsy Chaperone, which is a musical within a musical. The story is related by “Man in Chair” who loves musical theatre and particularly his record of the fictional 1928 production of Drowsy. As he plays it the show comes alive in his living room whilst he wryly comments on the music, the story and the actors.
Battle’s ‘Fiddler On The Roof’ an evening of great music between the lines of the poignant script this production in the roun d truly included the audience in the action. With an amazing twinkle Tevye spoke to us creating an atmosphere of melancholy but with humour too. A n e xtremely well cast of strong characters, with beautiful harmony and wonderful costumes. Chorus movement so well timed kept the continuity flowing. Exc ellent throughout.
