SUMMARY:Social Play Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Social Play Reading Group will meet next on Wednesday 6 March to read two short one-act plays that will be performed script-in-hand\, in a rehearsed public reading\, on 24 May. This is an opportunity for new actors or returning actors to have a bit of fun and explore different character parts.  \nWe are looking for up to seven women to play characters of varying ages\, accents and backgrounds\, in the short play Bus Stop\, by Rae Shirley (the author of the satirical\, Merry Regiment of Women\, which was given a similar performance a couple of years’ ago).  \nThe other play is Plasters\, from Visiting Hour\, by Richard Harris\, a collection of six interlinked plays set in a National Health hospital. It has a cast of two\, a husband and wife\, who can be any age or background.  \nCome along to the meeting\, if you enjoy reading plays\, or would like to take part in the performance.

SUMMARY:Aladdin
DESCRIPTION:Aladdin flies into Hebden Bridge this December for StoryMagic’s annual pantomime at Hebden Bridge Little Theatre. Performances are on 28-30 December\, at 11am and 3pm. \nLast year’s pantomime\, Snow White\, sold out leaving families disappointed\, so audiences are urged to buy their tickets well in advance this year. \n‘Our popular Toddler Friendly performances are back at 11am every day’ says producer Katrina Heath. ‘These performances are specially designed for a very young audience\, so we make sure it never goes dark\, and we avoid scary effects and loud noises’. \nThe cast includes 3 professional adults. Regular audience members will recognise Katrina and Ross from the past few years\, and local actress\, Rhiannon\, who played Snow White last year joins us as the Princess Balroulbadour.  The cast is completed by 7 local children who play street urchins and magical dancing rubies\, amethysts and an onyx in the ballet of the jewels. \nTickets are available at Todmorden Tourist Information Centre\, either in person\, or on 01706 818181 (no booking fee)\, or by clicking on the Ticketsource link on the website www.storymagictheatre.com (a small booking fee applies). \nSTOP PRESS: Extra performance announced\, Monday 31 December at 3pm. \n\n

SUMMARY:The 39 Steps
DESCRIPTION:By Patrick Barlow\, directed by Ray Riches \nWinner of the Olivier Award for Best Comedy\, in 2007\, Patrick Barlow’s play is based on the Buchan novel and Hitchcock film\, about adventurer Richard Hannay\, who is forced to go on the run from an international spy ring\, at the outbreak of the First World War. \nIn this spoof version\, all the characters are played by four actors\, who portray between 100 and 150 roles\, even doubling parts within the same scene. These quick changes are achieved by cunning use of props and costume\, contributing to the general hilarity. Further humour comes from the ingenious use of props – to represent trains and planes on stage\, in a variety of unexpected ways!

SUMMARY:The Last Memory
DESCRIPTION:Talking Stock Productions presents \nThe Last Memory \nBy Alan Stockdill \n‘How can I go to heaven if I don’t know who I am?’ says Ernest to his daughter Lynne when he’s diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. But he also has a plan: to leave a vital imprint of who he is. Lynne is to be the keeper of his memory\, the guardian of their past. Join them on their journey; share their hopes\, fears\, smiles\, strength and tears. Arrive with them as they seize the last memory and a carpe diem hope. \nThis powerful one-act play is inspired by a real-life situation with genuine stories and experiences. The performance will be followed by an interval then an optional Q&A session with the writer/director and actors. \n‘The actors dealt with the difficult subject of dementia tenderly and compassionately\, picking out the humour\, the positives\, the memories and the ‘carpe diem’ moments in a beautiful\, truly touching way…’ \n‘One of the most moving and inspirational pieces of theatre I’ve ever experienced…’ \n‘Shows the sheer love a daughter has for her Daddy who is struggling to remain with his beloved family…’ \n‘Brilliant. There was not a dry eye in the house…’ \nMoney raised from this performance will go to local dementia charities\, including the Living with Dementia group at Hope Baptist Church which helps support both sufferers and carers. It will also help in the bid for Hebden Bridge to become a Dementia Friendly town. \nTickets are £8 (unreserved seating) and tickets are available from Catherine Pasek by texting or phoning 07785 530129. You can also book online at wegottickets.com/talkingstock.

SUMMARY:‘Allo ‘Allo!
DESCRIPTION:By Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft\, directed by Rachel Peter \nAdapted from the long-running\, popular TV series\, ‘Allo ‘Allo! centres around René Artois the cowardly cafe-owner with an eye for the ladies\, who gets caught up in the madcap escapades of the French Resistance\, whilst all the time trying desperately to ingratiate himself with the occupying German forces. The stage adaptation features the familiar running gags\, and all your favourite characters\, such as René’s tone-deaf wife Edith\, Major-General von Klinkerhoffen and the Gestapo officer Herr Flick. \n‘Allo ‘Allo! is broad comedy\, with elements of farce\, physical comedy\, visual gags\, ridiculous fake accents\, and a large amount of sexual innuendo. What’s not to like?!

SUMMARY:Light Music for Summertime
DESCRIPTION:With happy memories of last year’s concert\, Hebden Bridge Little Theatre Choir will again welcome the Chris Irvin Concert Orchestra from Leeds\, to share an evening of cheerful nostalgia\, and the brilliant tunes of previous generations. \nIf you relish the stirring songs of the first World War\, long to gather lilacs in English Country Gardens – Linden Lea or a Monastery Garden\, perhaps – come to the Little Theatre on Saturday 7 July\, at 7.30pm. It’s a free concert\, as was last year’s\, with donations welcome. \nThere’s evidence that popular favourites of parents and grandparents can appeal to children hearing them for the first time; the evening will also enable youngsters to see orchestral instruments being played at close quarters. \nChris Irvin\, who suggested ten years ago that the Little Theatre might enjoy having its own choir\, is also M.D. for the orchestra\, and has composed new pieces for its concerts\, in venues ranging from Open Gardens to shopping malls\, churches and care homes. \nIf you’d like to join us\, for a pleasant evening’s entertainment\, please ring Chris to reserve your seat (01422 844744). There is no admission charge.

SUMMARY:Lovesong
DESCRIPTION:By Abi Morgan\, directed by Mike Bellenie \nThe playwright\, Abi Morgan\, and celebrated theatre company\, Frantic Assembly\, collaborated on this unforgettable love story\, about the 40-year marriage of Maggie and Billy\, as Maggie’s illness threatens to end it. Past and present collide. The kitchen and bedroom of Maggie and Billy’s house\, where the walls were never scribbled on by longed-for children\, are stalked by the ghosts of their younger selves: the smooth-skinned\, radiant Margaret and William. An old woman walks into the wardrobe and a young woman walks out. An elderly man dances with the memory of his young wife; a young man makes love to the woman his new wife will eventually become. \nLovesong is a radical departure for the Little Theatre\, as the production will feature the unique choreography\, for which Frantic Assembly is famous.

SUMMARY:Social Play Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The next play for the Social Play Reading Group will be a saucy comedy\, Chase Me Up Farndale Avenue\, s’il vous plaît! by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jnr. The French farce has arrived at the Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society\, and the formidable ladies do it like no one else! An unintelligible plot\, a plethora of doors and a grand range of characters make this Farndale offering as bubbly as a glass of champagne. If you have ever seen any of the other Farndale Avenue Housing Estate plays and enjoyed them\, you will appreciate this style of ‘coarse theatre’ and  the comedy which results from theatre done badly on purpose. Everyone is welcome to read or just listen. \nThe SPRG meets to read this jolly romp\, on Wednesday\, 4 April\, at 7.30pm\, in the Little Theatre.

SUMMARY:Social Play Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Social Play Reading Group will be reading Me and My Friend by Gillian Plowman\, on Wednesday\, 7 February. \nThis ‘hilarious and heart-breaking’ black comedy explores the relationship between two ‘odd’ couples thrown prematurely out of hospital care.

They all meet when Oz throws a disastrous party with the four desperately attempting the niceties of social intercourse. \nIf you like reading plays aloud\, or would like to just listen – please join us! \nPlowman’s writing is rich in affectionate humour…The Times…a remarkable play…The Sunday Telegraph…what good theatre should be …What’s On.

SUMMARY:Social Play Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The SPRG plans another reading of Pyrenees by David Greig\, on Wednesday 6 December\, at 7.30pm in the Little Theatre bar. In this intriguing play\, a man found lying in the snow at the base of the Pyrenees\, suffering from amnesia\, is confronted by two women who offer alternative stories about his identity. There was such disagreement among the readers who were there in November about the true identities of the characters\, we are inviting Little Theatre members to come along\, read or listen and help us solve the puzzle. If you are good at accents (eg. a slight Scottish lilt\, or the accent of a person speaking English who might have been born in France)\, this is an opportunity to have some fun and help us solve the mystery.

SUMMARY:RolePlay
DESCRIPTION:By Alan Ayckbourn\, directed by Ray Riches \nJustin and Julie-Ann\, hopelessly mismatched in love\, are about to introduce their respective parents to each other over dinner – Justin’s upper-crust alcoholic mother from Surrey and Julie-Ann’s bigoted Yorkshire father and prim mother. \nEnter Paige Petite\, a former lap-dancer with suicidal tendencies\, who appears on their balcony having dropped from the flat above\, followed shortly after by the thick\, gun-toting minder employed by her violent boyfriend! \nThis is the third in the Damsels in Distress trilogy\, by Alan Ayckbourn. Although part of a trilogy\, each play stands alone. The director Ray Riches previously directed GamePlan\, the first of the series\, in 2007\, and is delighted to get the chance to direct RolePlay: ‘RolePlay is very funny! The humour comes from an array of larger than life characters\, heightened by the sense of peril in which our hapless heroine finds herself. All this combines to hilarious effect!’ \n‘returns to vintage Ayckbourn territory\, the dinner party from hell’ Paul Taylor\, The Independent
