Lots of performances planned

Let’s get quizzical

AN AMATEUR dramatic group in the Moorlands has a programme of shows planned for this year.

Leek Theatre Company formed in the Summer of 2022 after the amalgamation of Leek Musical Theatre Company and Centre Stage Theatre Company.

Now members are busy rehearsing for their next production and also planning further shows for 2023.

Chloe Bayston, a member of the company, said: “2023 is looking to be a very exciting year for our society with lots of performances planned for throughout the year.

“We have already started the year with rehearsals in full swing for our April musical production of Wind in the Willows.

“Directed by Ian Wilson, Lucy Baker and Sharon Davies, this fun and family friendly production will be taking to the stage at Westwood First School from April 12 to April 15.

Tickets for this will be going on sale from March from our website.”

Chloe continued: “Following on from Wind in the Willows, the society will be performing a charity concert to raise money for The Samaritans.

“This will be a production of music and play extracts to showcase some of the best of our society and to raise money for a wonderful cause. The concert will be taking place on July 7 and July 8 and more information on this will be shared on Leek Theatre Company’s website and social media channels for those who would like to be involved in the production and for those interested in tickets.”

Chloe added: “Following these productions the society will then be looking to perform a play at the beginning of November.
