WELCOME TO

THE FISHER THEATRE Dear Customer and Supporter, Arts news doesn’t always make the headlines, but it’s certainly been making front page news in the national papers recently, and not for the right reasons. There’s been a significant downturn in theatre attendance across the country, hitting the provincial and regional theatres hard. We are only too aware of this and how it has been affecting us since February this year. Brexit, rising living costs, general uncertainty, and the hard winter and now the heat wave, have all played a part in this. Its very important for us to voice now, that places like the Fisher Theatre survive on ticket sales, events, volunteers and donations alone. We aren’t one of those lucky venues that gets funding to exist and get big name acts. We are very proud of this. Since the Fisher re-opened in 2006, we’ve had very minor revenue funding. This fact sends out a clear signal that the Fisher Theatre’s a valuable and supported charity in our community, one we hope many others believe we can’t afford to lose. Because of these leaner anxious times, we have made a few changes. Firstly, we will be reducing the number of Fisher Theatre Cinema showings to one a month, alongside the Bungay Film club monthly offering. Secondly, we will be reducing the number of streams from certain distributors, as not all of the more obscure works or frequently encored works get good audiences. Now, it’s all about making sure that what we show brings in the largest numbers we can get. Cellar Nights will also take a break this Autumn-Winter while we rethink the formula to make it grow. The café will close in the daytime but the Box Office will remain manned by a volunteer from 10-3pm Monday to Saturday. The office will be manned in the daytime too, please book in advance for an appointment with staff. In the evening, on show nights, the Box Office and Café/Bar will re-open at 6pm. From 7pm until the show/activity starts, that show/activity will have priority in the Box Office. When there is no show or evening activity the Box Office and Bar will not re-open at 6pm. The Fisher’s working hard to increase its involvement in the community and is currently engaged in a number of activities that demonstrate the value of the arts in our lives, other than purely as entertainment. I for one, intend for us to grow our position in the community. To do this, we need you as customers and volunteers to help the Fisher stay, thrive and grow. Your theatre needs you, as the saying goes, in any way you can support it, buying tickets, taking a class, having a meal, making a donation, becoming a volunteer, and helping us fundraise, to ensure we don’t fall like many around us. We look forward to seeing you at the theatre thus helping this wonderful historical building stride on into the future in the way it was meant.

ABOUT US The Fisher Theatre, in Broad Street, Bungay, is one of the oldest provincial theatres in the UK. It is more than just a theatre, it has spaces available to hire for stage shows, events, meetings, conferences, art exhibitions and parties. There are also three separate areas licensed for Weddings and Civil Ceremonies.

F– THEATRE I S H E R–

The Fisher Theatre is a registered not-for-profit charity and receives no on-going revenue funding. The running costs of the building, productions, staffing and maintenance are met solely from income.

prepping, cooking, serving, setting-up events, clearing-up after events, hanging exhibitions, publicity, delivering programmes, putting up posters, helping with mail-outs, technical, administration, book-keeping, running promotional stalls, fundraising, building upkeep and improvements. If you are interested, please email: info@fishertheatre.org.

PATRON SPONSOR: We would like to give our thanks to our sponsor Musker McIntyre. We would also like to warmly welcome our newest corporate sponsor Transam.

Jimmy’s sixteen, sexually confused and stuck in Sheringham. He’s screwed. Well he’s not actually: that’s the problem… When Morrissey comes to London Jimmy flees to London to find his hero and himself. Rubber Ring is a laugh-out-loud coming of age comedy about sexual and regional identity, which opened at The Pleasance Islington prior to a national tour.

Paris, 1899 and Christian, a new arrival to a city bubbling over with bohemian types, is drawn into the colourful, vibrating and sometimes shocking world of the Moulin Rouge. It’s here that he meets the beautiful Satine, the Sparkling Diamond, the jewel in the crown of the Moulin, and falls in love. His reason for being in Paris is to write which he does, but his story becomes tainted with far more than he bargained for, beyond the comfortable Bohemian ideals of Freedom,

'The Hijacked Hollies' pay tribute to one of the 60s and 70s most iconic bands -The Hollies - who had more chart hits in the 60s than The Beatles. With songs such as 'Just One Look', 'Bus Stop', 'Carrie Anne', 'Here I Go Again' ,’On A Carousel' and their two number one singles 'I'm Alive' and the legendary 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother', a hit-packed show is guaranteed.

The last days of Oscar Wilde, and the ghosts that haunted them, are vividly evoked in Rupert Everett's directorial debut as the literary genius lives out his last days in exile in Europe. His body ailing and heavy, his mind spinning, he survives by falling back on the flamboyant irony and brilliant wit that defined him. Directed by Rupert Everett, starring Rupert Everett, Colin Morgan, Edwin Thomas, Emily Watson, Colin Firth and Tom Wilkinson. Running Time: 109 mins

Unusual for an auditorium are the windows in the roof that flood the space with natural light. These can be blacked out if not required. Added to which are theatre lights that can create added atmosphere to enhance any event from the formality of a conference to an evening party. The floor consists of 60 individual floor panels that can be raised or lowered, to six different heights, allowing you to choose the size of the main stage, seated area, centre stage or even a catwalk.

David Pairpoint : ‘Searching For Ed Dorn’ Private View: 2nd September, 4-6pm Runs from: 2nd September - 11th October. I first saw the John Ford western, The Searchers, at age 12 and was transfixed. The film has grown in stature, lauded for its complexities and its dark heart. The epic poem The Gunslinger by Ed Dorn, and the film have coalesced in these paintings. The imagery has its origins in the film, the poem provides the narrative.

Joan Johns: ‘Behind the Lines’ Private View: 28th October 4-6pm Runs from: 15th October - 15th November. “Telegrams arrived saying ‘Your husband died an honourable death fighting for King and country’. But many simply fell off a duckboard and sank in the mud. More were machine gunned down by just putting their heads above the trench, or just didn’t get out of the trench! Will this exhibition show what really happens when politicians send good men, women and boys, to war - I hope so.”

Dominic Theobald: ‘Paintings and Etchings’ Private View: 18th November, 4-6pm Runs from: 18th November - 17th January 2019. A selection of work produced at Ditchingham over the last decade. His colourful images derive from a variety of sources including cartoon forms, music and plant structures. He has exhibited widely in this country, as well as in Europe and the USA.
