BURTON JOYCE PLAYERS in 1986
Chairman: Mrs Libby Henshaw - Burton Joyce
Secretary: Mrs Mary Brigham - Burton Joyce
During our eleven month season, we stage a play in November, another in the Spring, each for three evening performances, and a popular pantomime in January for four evening performances and a matinee.
We meet on the third Friday of each month, usually in the village hall and this season's programme includes an evening of Junior drama, a competitive festival using inexperienced producers, an inter-drama group quiz, an entertainment of individual items, a rehearsed play reading and guest speakers. On the first Friday of each month, there is a play reading in a member's home.
We have an enthusiastic Junior membership - minimum age twelve - who participate in the Pantomime and take an active part in our festival and other meetings.
We are making an effort to share some activities with other amateur drama groups and visit their productions, whenever possible, welcoming a return visit.
