ACT to the rescue!

As you are no doubt aware, Thornbury's very own ACT group have had great successes this year, particularly with July's extremely successful production of the Wigan Girls. With all the excitement following these successes ACT has come to the rescue and provided Thornbury residents with a little taste of the theatre before they come back in 2010. What follows is a statement from Lyn Bedford (ACT's Press and Publicity Officer) telling you what goodies will be available in the run up to this Christmas!

"Feeling lost without that friendly crowd of actors, musicians and tecchies?  Sad, because you missed Thornbury's phenomenal community production, or perhaps stumped for ideas for Christmas presents?  Well, dry your tears and plaster that smile back on your face, as ACT has the answer to all your problems!

We have not one, but TWO DVDs of The Wigan Girls available ~ one contains highlights and interviews taken during the exciting rehearsal period, while the other contains the stunning performance, witnessed by 2000 people in July, plus a CD of all the music!  It seems too good to be true, but all three disks are available for a mere £15, while for only £7.50, ACT has produced a stunning calendar, featuring location, rehearsal and performance photographs of The Wigan Girls.

The calendars are on sale at Thornbury Town Hall, or for an extra £1, by post from Jackie Jackson, Bay Tree Cottage, Crossways Lane, Thornbury, BS35 3UE, or tel: 01454 416421 and Jackie is also the contact for the DVD package.  All cheques should be made payable to ACT and remember that each memento sold counts towards another brick in the wall of the hoped for new theatre-based community complex, which will really put this area on the map!
