Actonians Drama Group

In our 50th Anniversary year we are delighted to present a production of Cider with Rosie.  This is an exciting collaboration with the Junior Group and runs from Thursday 30th November to a matinee on Saturday 2nd December 2017.  The play recounts Laurie Lee’s poetic memories of growing up in the Cotswold village of Slad recalling exciting outings, frozen winters, long hot summers, tyrannical teachers and the ups and downs of family life.  One of our old Actonians, after moving to Australia earlier this year, is making a surprise appearance as the drunkard Victor! 

Tickets for this special production will be sold at only £7 and are available from our web-site www.actonians.co.uk/boxoffice

The Actonians are celebrating a very successful year with both the Adult and Junior Groups winning awards in the AAD One Act Festival in the Spring and receiving four nominations for Rose Bowl Awards for our productions of Humble Boy and Top Girls.  Pat Stimson getting the 2017 Rose Bowl’s Quartet Community Foundation Award for Best Supporting Actor (Drama) for her portrayal of Dull Gret in Top Girls.

We are a very active, friendly group and are always keen to welcome new members whether you wish to tread the boards or support backstage.  If you are interested in joining then please email actonians@outlook.com, visit our website or follow us on Facebook.
