The beautiful venue for our May musical - Cromer Pier Pavilion |
We hope you will find it interesting and informative. There's details about our history, previous productions, forthcoming shows and how to contact us. We always warmly welcome new members who wish to take part in our shows, whether as singers, dancers, actors, or all three!
If, however, you don't want to be on stage, but would like to be involved, there are hundreds of jobs to be done behind the scenes. We build and paint our own sets so if you're a budding carpenter, painter or just good with your hands, or if prefer helping with costumes or organising publicity, in fact, whatever your talent, we can make use of it!
A warm welcome and one hundred friends await you! Alternatively, to keep in touch with what we're up to, and to be among the first to know what's coming up, why not become a Vice-President? You'll receive priority booking for all our productions and our bi-monthly newsletter, "Just A Minim". So do get in touch.

OUR 2008 MUSICAL PRODUCTION
Saturday 24th to Saturday 31st May 2008Cromer Pier Pavilion TheatreWell, what a week we had! Nine performances played to excellent houses despite the typical Bank Holiday weather, although we enjoyed a wonderful sunny day for our final matinee and evening performances. But for those who braved the elements for that stroll along the pier to the theatre, we hope they found much to warm and cheer them once the band struck up! A huge thank you to all the technical team for the work they did to make sure the show looked as fantastic as it did. This really was a show like no other, a colourful circus spectacular, and was certainly a departure for us from the traditional musical, and whilst it proved a huge challenge both artistically and technically, the company and all those involved be it front of house or back stage, have had a ball! (a juggling one of course!) So thank you to our audiences, without whom of course we would have all felt rather silly; to all those who helped in any way to bring the show to life; to our wonderful orchestra, this year hidden behind the scenes under the musical direction of Geoff Davidson; of course to our Director Jeremy Tustin (we hope we did him proud!) and our 2 fantastic Assistant Directors - Nona Gray and Robin Taylor - who never gave up and overcame every obstacle thrown at them -with mostly good humour and great spirit. We seldom like to single out cast members as every show is very much an ensemble piece, but special mention this year has to go to Nick Bird, our own Mr P.T.Barnum. Nick has worked tirelessly for six months for this demanding role and has displayed tremendous commitment and talent in making the part his own. Thank you Nick for doing such a great job for us and for being such a nice bloke! Lastly, we are thrilled that by the generosity of our audiences throughout the week, we have raised approximately £2000 for our chosen charity, Sheringham Woodfields School (for children with special needs) which will make a huge contribution to their efforts to buy a minibus. So a huge thankyou!! You can see what the local press have said about the show further down this page and photos from the production can now be viewed in our photo gallery. What the Press said ........................Eastern Daily Press Monday We were delighted to donate £500 to Sheringham Woodfields School, on our gala opening night. The school caters for pupils from 2 to 19 years with severe or complex learning difficulties. It was recently awarded "outstanding" status by Ofsted inspectors, and all monies raised and generously donated by our audiences throughout the week will go towards the cost of a minibus. Our audiences added a further £1682 to the Society contribution by throwing their loose change into collection buckets as they left the theatre. So total donations of £2182. THANK YOU. |
