My Own Show

My Own Show update

It may be over a month away, but now is the busy period for all the planning.

Today we have the photography at Full Fat Fotography. www.fullfatfotography.com

The sign is up on The Studio to advertise the show.

The This Is Your Life Book is ready.

We have sourced a Man and a Van to transport the settee to and from The Studio.

We have booked the Willow Tree for the after show party on the 22nd May. The Willow Tree.

We have contacted the entertainment manager at Larkhill to promote the show to the residents there - a life member recently moved there and told us they were keen on arranging theatre visits.

We have added 2 more listings, one in ArtNot which is distributed in bars, cafes etc in Nottingham, and qype, a listing website just starting in Nottingham. www.qype.co.uk

My Own Show - update

Set construction continues and we have also had a good production meeting.

The floor is starting to look good, and sourcing props is now well under way. In the picture you can see the first section of flooring and the rug for use during the show. The chairs are not the right ones yet. At the next Saturday set build we will finish all construction work, then its painting and set dressing.

Rehearsals are also continuing, and now that the holidays are over, all the cast are at rehearsals, so they are moving ahead quickly. Books down is only a few days away now and the prompt - Adrian - will be at rehearsals from next Thursday. So it is starting to come together.

Production meeting is this Saturday at 5pm for My Own Show.



We have lots to get through, from props, lighting, sound and the final arrangements for the photography on Monday for all the publicity.


On the props side, we are still looking for dinky toys, especially boxed. However we do have a good looking red book for the This Is Your Life book that we need (a la Michael Aspel).

Set building is progressing, with the base coat for the floors done. I'll see if I can take some pictures this weekend and upload them, so people can see how its all progressing.

Set building continues for My Own Show.

The current schedule is every Saturday (10am-1pm) from now leading up to the show, plus Tuesday 20th April 7.45pm.

The play is being performed 18th-22nd May, 7.30pm, and tickets are available now from the box office 07960 992196 or online from the WBDS website www.wbds.org.uk

Anyone who wants to come along and help with set building is welcome. There is set building, painting and staging to do. We are also making one of the props - the giant Dinky car box. So anyone who feels creative just turn up at the Studio Theatre - if you can paint or hammer or screw or make tea, you are welcome.

The Studio Theatre, Stamford Road, West Bridgford, NG2 6LS. Go to the end of Stamford Road, and go up the path between the rugby ground and the allotments.
