NEW MEMBERS
We welcome new members! Ever fancied being someone else? Well, acting is a great way of taking on a new persona. If you've never experienced the buzz of pulling off a dazzling performance and getting acclaim from an appreciative audience, we can give you that opportunity. We like to involve new members as soon as we can, even if that means only a small part at first. If you would rather work behind the scenes, there are plenty of roles for you to make your mark, including set-building and decorating, sound and lighting, props, costumes, make-up, prompt, publicity, front-of-house, refreshments as well as producer, stage manager and director.
We put on two productions a year - in May and November - and occasionally enter drama festivals too. Usually we discuss and select the next play as soon as we can after finishing the last one. After casting, we rehearse on Wednesday evenings for about 3 months, with Mondays added for about 2 months. For the two weekends before performance evenings (usually Wednesday through to Saturday) it's all hands on deck to help build the set, dress and paint it, then do a technical rehearsal.

NEXT PRODUCTION
Bartholomew Players present: "Ladies’ Day” by Amanda Whittington
Work, love and life are just one long hard slog for the fish-filleting foursome Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda. But their fortunes are set to change when Linda finds tickets
to Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot the year it is relocated to York.
Out go the hairnets, overalls and clogs as the four ditch work, do themselves up
to the nines and head off to the races for a drink, a flirt and a flutter.
“With its Yorkshire heart and soul it has all the warmth of a Calendar Girls
ora Full Monty” said the Yorkshire Post.
Director Debi Lisburne Diacon says: “Amanda Whittington understands women and writes so well about their hopes and fears, high points and upsets - all with a delightful touch of humour and some poignancy. We are so pleased to be back doing what we love and hope you will come and see this refreshingly honest play.”
TicketSource are inviting event organisers to apply for a £1,000 grant
to help fund their next community event.
