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.

Bartholomew Players announce our next production

The Government Inspector by Nikolai Gogol, adapted by Philip Goulding

“An enormously funny, comic, bold, colourful production. Fantastic. A really great night out”. (BBC Radio 4 – Front Row).

“A splendid satire on greed, corruption and sleaze in not very high places. Goulding presents a picture of a booming society riddled with petty fiefdoms and incipient corruption. A fine tribute to Gogol”. (The Guardian)

Performance dates: 26th-29th November at 7.30pm

Venue: Eynsham Village Hall OX29 4QW

We invite all who are interested in being part of this show – either onstage or backstage – to come along to the function room at the Red Lion, Eynsham, OX29 4HW for a play-reading at 7.30pm on Wednesday 11th June & auditions on Wednesday 18th June. New members are very welcome!
