Rehearsals begin
Our November/December musical Billy has been cast, and we've had our first music rehearsal with Robert and launched straight into some four part harmonies!
We've got a fantastic cast with lots of new members so it's going to be a great show. Pop along to the Hut on Tuesdays and Thursdays to show the cast your support and come along to the pub for a cheeky drink as well.

Synopsis
Billy
A musical based on Billy Liar by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall
Book by Dick Clement and Ian la Frenais
Music by John Barry
Lyrics by Don Black
Billy Fisher lives with Mum, Dad and Gran in Yorkshire and is an undertaker's clerk - but in his mind he is President of Ambrosia, a film star, a scriptwriter - and anything else glamorous that happens to occur to him! However, nobody else believes him, certainly neither Barbara nor Rita, to both of whom he has promised marriage, though there is only one engagement ring! He frantically tries to lie his way out, so he can run away with Liz, the only girl who understands him, but we know he'll never quite make it.
