ACTion Community
Theatre Co. in Residence at
The Terry O’Toole Theatre
CELEBRATING OUR FIFTH ANNIVERSARY!
In January, we opened our 5th anniversary season with ‘The Three
Musketeers: La Pantomime!’, which played to packed houses and
garnered an excellent review from NODA East Midlands [National
Operatic & Dramatic Association].
We’ve been keeping this quiet until after panto, but we can now
reveal that ACTion will be adapting the classic children’s story The
Wolves of Willoughby Chase for our spring 2015 production.
Every May, ACTion stages a family-friendly show; we have had
great success with productions of other classic stories, including The
Railway Children, Tom’s Midnight Garden and The Wind In The
Willows, but this year our members wanted to do something really
special.
Lizza Aiken, daughter of acclaimed children’s author, Joan Aiken, has
very kindly granted ACTion special permission to adapt her mother’s
most famous book, The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, which is a
lively adventure story featuring three feisty children, a wicked
governess, a master forger and, of course, the wolves of the title.
This will be the first time ACTion has created an original piece of
children’s theatre and we are looking forward to staging a fantastic
production for our audiences.”
The company will follow the May family show with the acclaimed New members are very welcome to come along and try out for
comedy-drama Bedroom Farce by Alan Ayckbourn in October a part, or get involved behind the scenes. Call the theatre office
and complete the year with a magical, festive staging of Dickens’ on 01522 870251 or go to
classic A Christmas Carol in December. www.actioncommunitytheatre.com for further information.
