The Mitre Players
In May, despite the many restrictions still in place, rehearsals started for the muchanticipated production of “Our House – The Madness Musical”.
We packed up 3 vans and over 40 cars to head for Porthcurno in Cornwall and the world renowned Minack Theatre. We played to sell out audiences in this idyllic and unique location and enjoyed several standing ovations from an appreciative public who were delighted to see the return of live theatre.
Our next production was “The Wind in the Willows” in October 2021 and was staged at the school’s Mitre Theatre. Despite some COVID casualties, we produced yet another successful and highly enjoyable show.
In February ‘22 we started rehearsing for our Clubhouse production of “A Bunch of Amateurs”. Again, we had four sell out performances which were greatly enjoyed by the appreciative audiences in April and showed our depth of talent producing a challenging comedy.
Rehearsals are underway for our Summer Musical “A Little Shop of Horrors” which will be performed at the Clubhouse Theatre in July and then taken on tour to the Apollo Theatre on the Isle of Wight in August.
If you would like to get involved, we would be pleased to hear from you. We have an open membership policy but retain strong links with Trinity and the Alumni and are hoping to work on a joint production with the drama department in the coming years.
Mitres continue to go from strength to strength against all the odds - in the words of our Chairman “We love it, we love it all!”
