Our next show is Gilbert & Sullivan's 'Ruddigore', their comic take on a Victorian Melodrama full of bad baronets, ghosts and a witches curse! All are welcome to our Launch Night on 5th November at Harlington Methodist Church Hall to hear our Director Jane Powell and MD Chris Burrett introduce the show.

 

New members are always welcome! Just turn up and introduce yourself, whether you want to join us onstage or help behind the scenes.

 

Auditions for Ruddigore will be on the 17th and 19th November at the hall.

Thank you!

A BIG THANK YOU to our wonderful audiences for coming and supporting us this week. From the roars of laughter, cheers and applause we know you all had a great time at Me and My Girl, as did we! Many thanks also to our talented Director Mandy Sayers and MD Chris Burrett for all their hard work and inspiration, our fabulous Band (wow!), and our dedicated stage team and Committee. There are too many behind the scenes both backstage and front of house to mention - it takes many, many people to present a show like this and we are lucky at PBGS to have so many talented members and helpers. 

Our next show will be Gilbert & Sullivan's ghost filled melodrama Ruddigore, opening on the 30th April at Woodside Hall, Hitchin! We look forward to seeing you all then.

 As you can see, we have some wonderful 'Me and My Girl' photos from Rosalind White Photography!

There is still time to buy tickets for tonight, tomorrow and for our Saturday matinee performances by clicking on the Order Tickets button wherever you see it. This really is a special show - warm, uplifting and full of toe-tapping tunes. We'll have you humming The Lambeth Walk all the way home!
