Am/Dram  -  Amateur Dramatics

My first foray into amateur dramatics was after Mandy died.  She was about to be in "Calamity Jane" with her pal Tracey when she died. I then became interested in doing this acting 'thing' so when I moved to Horning the local postman, John, came around selling tickets for the pantomime being done by  HATS - Horning Amateur Theatrical Society and he asked if I would like to join .  So I did, and I was hooked and I met Vicki. 
This was in 1987 and I have been doing 'it' ever since. I stayed in Horning for a few years and then Vicki and myself started another group that performed in Hoveton Village hall and we called ourselves "Broadland Entertainers" and did pantos, "Annie", "The Wizard of Oz" and a few others.  We then amalgamated with Theatre 101 at RAF Coltishall who now perform in the Puppet Theatre in Norwich.   But we have been in other groups appearing at the Puppet Theatre, on Cromer Pier, at the Playhouse in Norwich and various other venues. Oh. we are so adventurous.  But at the present time we are rehearsing for "Anything Goes" to be performed in May 2003. (Pictures to follow)

Here are some of my earlier pics.
