Bubblegum, Soda & POP!

Hi everybody! Phoenix Players are putting a new show in just a few weeks! It's on Saturday the 16th of April and, so far, this is the only date you'll be able to see it... But there are two shows to watch: one at 2.30pm and another at 7pm. Some more information about the show: "Our next show is light-hearted revue of girl bands from the 50s, 60s & 70s that were the precursor to the Spice Girls and others. Bubblegum, Soda and Pop is an original piece written by David Armitt for the group and it takes the form of a musical revue with lots of your favourite pop songs from these decades. The show will be performed at Nettlefold Hall, West Norwood for one night only on Saturday 16th of April, though depending on demand we may add a second show. The casting for this show is now complete. Cast will reopen again in late April when we start preparing for our Summer show. If you'd like to be kept in touch about this, please go to our website to join our mailing list and find some more information." Tickets: Adults £8, Concessions £5 (group and family discounts also available) Contact: 0781 832 33 11 And you can also book online HERE. We hope you enjoy the show! See you soon!

Pantomime! Gerry and the Dragon

Hi everybody!

By now all of us are pretty busy (and probably somewhat tied up...) with Christmas shopping. Taking this into consideration, we are giving you ample time to come to The Nettlefold and watch the next production we're hosting: Gerry & The Dragon!


"Our next show is a family pantomime Gerry & The Dragon. It's the story of a lowly serf called Gerry who wants to become a Knight and win the hand of the fair damsel Dame Winnie. There will be heroes to cheer, villains to boo, songs to sing along with and lots of laughs for all the family We have now cast this show so the cast is closed (sorry!). The Cast will reopen again in February when we will start rehearsals for our Summer show (TBD). Feel free to register with us on our Contact page and we'll keep you in touch."

It's a family Panto! And it's by The Phoenix Players! If you've been here before for any of their other shows you know how great they were so you're probably gonna grab the phone right now and get some tickets.

(and so you should...)

Phoenix Players and Snowy White

I missed it but I heard so many good things about it that I decided there and then to do a post about it!

Kindly, Justine Knight sent me some pics that I'll treat you to. And you'll either recognise them (if you were one of the lucky ones to watch the show...) or you won't recognise them and, in that case, take comfort in knowing that you are not alone and that you'll be able to watch their next show - HALF A SIXPENCE from the 9th to the 11th of September 2010.
Also here at the Nettlefold.

It's easy to know when there was a good show.
People tell you about it.
And they tell you with enthusiasm.
And when EVERYBODY keeps mentioning how good it was, well... that's when you're happy to have been part of the process of making it happen (however little...)

Bringing someone new onboard is always a strange process. There are needs to be met, expectations on both sides, things to learn, things to share. I guess there's always a little bit of anxiety since neither knows what they can really count on.

If things go well, if trust is placed and met on both sides then we can only but look at the future in a positive light.

Personally I'd like to see more community stuff happening in the Nettlefold. We have our fair share already (and not much more available space left...) but it's always nice when we can accomodate something so actively targeted at the local community as the Phoenix Players.

If you are curious and want to know a bit more about them (or join!) just click on the link for Phoenix Players. You'll have plenty of information (and more pictures!) about their ongoing activities, past and upcoming shows.


And, if you have Facebook, just search Phoenix Players - Drama.

So, big thanks to Justine Knight and Debbie Featherstone for liaising with us and putting on such a great show!

Thanks to Mark that designed the lighting for that play and that held the fort while I was away.

Thanks to Joanne that did all those extra hours so that the show could go on.

And thanks to Phoenix Players for being kind and professional and thoroughly having and sharing fun with all of us.
We look forward seeing you again!
