'Dynamic and fun' plays set for Skegby performers this September
Two “dynamic and fun” plays will be performed in Skegby next month – aiming to bring comedy, creativity, and collaboration to the community despite “dramatic” challenges and big changes.
The evening of entertainment will be held at St Andrew’s Parish Hall, on Mansfield Road, from September 1-3.
Not A Restaurant and The Panicked Players are written by Kay Thomason-Vardy and will be performed by The Parish Players, an amateur dramatic group, which puts on a series of shows each year.
Kay said: “As always with amateur dramatics, what goes on in rehearsals might not quite make it to the performance nights, including those who are originally cast.
“There has already been a major change to Not a Restaurant with the lead character being changed from a female perspective to a male one.
“It is, however, subtle and there is still a great innocence to the story.
“The Panicked Players has a mind of its own.
“As well as three performers, who constantly change the pattern of delivery to give varying comedic effects throughout.
“The rehearsals are dynamic, fun and short-lived. Only a couple left which includes the tech and dress for both one acts.
“These plays are a challenge for all involved but we will succeed.”
