                  LAST TANGO IN LITTLE GRIMLEY

                                   By David Tristram

Synopsis: 

      A local Dramatic Club's desperate group of actors realise their failing theatre group is faced by a grim future and choose a play to put on in panic- possibly their last ever.  Group membership has dwindled to four - audiences aren't much bigger - and if they don't come up with rent, they're going to be thrown out.

      Thus begins the chaotic and hilarious build-up to an evening of extraordinary home-grown drama- an evening the locals would never forget!

 Donna Wood is going to direct our second play:

                              THERMAL UNDERWEAR

                                       By Andrew Davies

Synopsis: 

      Mr and Mrs Hudd are celebrating their wedding anniversary at Elaine and Bob's house.  Friends and family are invited along to share the caviar and to toast this odd-ball couple with champagne.  However a creaking floorboard, a leaking pipe and the odd behaviour of the party members makes the day memorable for all the wrong reasons. 

St Joseph's Hall temporally closed: meanwhile East Leigh Labour Club have made us very welcome.  Thank you from all at St Joseph's Players. 

 We have been inundated with calls and messages asking about our annual Pantomime, but sadly due to Covid,  St Joseph's Hall remains closed.  However all being well the Hall will be re-opening in the Spring.

Meanwhile a few months ago, we decided we would perform Murder Mystery Nights until the Hall reopens,  the first of which was last Month and was a complete sell out just  two days after tickets went on sale. So if you want a great night out, 1st class entertainment, look no further Our next production is

What a fantastic night, and  such great comments from our audience.  It was great being able to do a performance after such a long time, the first since the lock down, we are still waiting for the hall to reopen which will  possibly be in February all being well.  Here are a few pictures taken on the night of the Murder

              A few nights ago ACTS had their awards 2019 night at the CRESTA COURT HOTEL, which again due to Coved 19 had to be cancelled.  However St Joseph's Players who  achieved nominations have now received well deserved awards. Congratulations to our winners from the productions
