The Lamproom Theatre Company is based in Barnsley and performs at the rapidly developing Lamproom Theatre in Westgate, Barnsley.
AN ENGAGEMENT WITH
MURDER - (a
home-grown play written by Rotherham drama teacher Adam Hart, based on the
Waddington's board game of CLUEDO) 5 males and 5 females of varying ages and
strong character. Each night there is a different murderer, so an audience will
see a slightly different denouement. Just the sort of comedy-drama for an
Autumn evening. This play will be directed by Reece Andrews.
A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS - a costumed, historical drama by
Robert Bolt concerning a slice in the lives of Sir Thomas Moore, Cardinal
Wolsey, and King Henry 8th. Great scope for those who like a more serious,
dramatic challenge, this renowned play encompasses roles for 11 males and 3
females and will be directed by Steve Fox during the October half-term.
MOVE OVER Mrs MARKHAM - a cracking farce by Ray Cooney
and John Chapman, with excellent character roles for 5 females and 4 males of
varying ages. It is hoped that this
play - to be directed by Ross Michaels - will follow in the footsteps of the
past two years' comedy successes (Abigail's
Party and Fur Coat and No Knickers),
bringing the first half of LTC's 2008/2009 season to a roaring conclusion.
Audition/read-through dates have yet to be penned,
but all up-coming information can be gleaned from the secretary, Phil Johnson, on 01226 203961, when this becomes available. We hope to offer this information for and during June.
To update your membership, or to be added to the LTC
membership list, please contact the Membership Secretary, Mary Creasey, on 07818285215.
The LTC hopes that by selecting plays with larger
casts, it will encourage members old and new to participate in an exciting
season, with plenty of scope for everyone. Backstage crew are more than
welcome. A production can be equally enjoyable backstage, behind-the-scenes as heads
of stage management, costume, properties, scenic building and painting, etc.,
so please join in and help where you can.
The Lamproom Theatre The rear of the building, formerly the main entrance to the chapel. The building really has been turned around in more than one sense.
The website is updated regularly with information about past, current and future productions. Last update was 1st May 2008
Contact us at the_company@lamproomcompany.org Your comments on the site and the theatre will be very welcome. Want to become more involved? Then let us know. We are very keen to extend out team both on stage and back stage. The Lamproom is Barnsley's only theatre. Help keep it growing.
Born out of a derelict Methodist Chapel, the theatre is Barnsley's only theatre and has been developed by a hard working group of volunteers. Regular visitors are amazed at the changes, which are always made to make theatregoing in Barnsley a pleasure.
