Stage 27 Amateur Dramatics Presents 'Bums On Seats' at The Old Rep Theatre - July 2010

Intrigue, comedy, lust— and that’s just in the audience!


In a tatty provincial theatre, an avante garde (and somewhat messy) new play,‘Fecund’ is being staged. Join Estelle the Marketing Assistant and the Theatre‘s ‘resting’ Usherettes as they delve behind the chaotic scenes to meet the motley crew of players and audience. Meet the Stage Manager, the amorous actors and ‘Fecund’s lecherous Playwright, who all have one purpose—to entertain the audience (who are an equally mixed, inharmonious group of individuals). Surely Estelle’s second week on the job can’t get any worse? Park your Bums On our Seats and join us for a fascinating look at what really happens in the world of the Theatre.
Stage 27 invites you to join them as they perform ‘Bums On Seats’ at The Old Rep Theatre on 1st, 2nd & 3rd July 2010. Fresh from their production of 'A Christmas Twist' in December 2009, Stage 27 are proud to present a raucous look at the intriguing world of the Theatre and what really goes on behind the curtains…..

One of the first Groups to perform at The Old Rep when its doors opened, the Group has been in existence for over 50 years and currently has approximately 15 members, from all ages and professions. Performing two productions a year, Stage 27 regularly enters Amateur Dramatics Festivals, and their most recent accolade was successfully passing through to the Semi-Final of the All England Theatre Festival in April 2010. The Group has also been involved in television work and acting with fellow organisations.

Stage 27 have performed thrillers, mysteries, comedies & original screenplays and 'Bums On Seats' is the latest string to their bow. The Group is always on the lookout for new members that would like to help in all areas - from those wishing to grace the stage to directing/ publicity, backstage/set design, costume and front of house assistance. Amateur Dramatics isn’t just about acting!

We meet every Wednesday at 8pm at the Acocks Green Methodist Church in Acocks Green, B27 7YE. Please contact Helen at: stage27@hotmail.co.uk or see our website for further information on the Group and how to join - www.stage27.org.uk.
