We perform many types of theatre productions, e.g. Comedies, Shakespearian, Dramas, Horror & Thrillers and Theatre-dinner shows. We have performed at many locations promoting the Hawkesbury, including the opening of the Old Windsor Hospital.

The Company is made up of a diverse range of local people with a good mix of men and women, young and old, experienced and new.

We are always looking for new members to keep the company "fresh" and there is always plenty of off-stage work for people who may feel a bit uncertain about taking their first steps on stage or who prefer that sort of involvement.

We also need company partners to sponsor productions in cash or kind. You are welcome to join us as a Supporting Member for a minimum donation of $25 p a. We would be interested in hearing from anyone who would be interested in sponsoring us for a banner with their Logo printed on it.

At Stage West Drama Festival we have won Awards for Best supporting Actor, Best Costumes (twice), and Adjudicator's Special Award for the Best Contribution to the festival and Nominations for Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director and Best production.

If you would like to be part of the Company please get in touch with the President at the address provided above. We would be very pleased to hear from you.

MOVIE NEWS

Hi Everyone:

Below is some information about our next Movie Presentation: we are trying to keep to the 2nd Saturday of each month. No movies will be shown in months where we are presenting a live play (next month likely for a play is August - so no movie that month). Please check our website for updates, photo & more information.

Make yourself at home at our movies: seats provided but, if you like, bring a cushion or your own chair. We aim to end the movie by 10.30 pm at the latest. See you there I hope.

Best wishes

John Graham

One of the best of the Tracy-Hepburn comedies and their sixth as a team. It is about husband and wife lawyers on opposing sides of the same attempted murder case. In her first major role, Judy Holiday is the defendant accused of trying to murder her philandering husband (Tom Ewell - later to star with Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven Year Itch"). The wonderfully funny screen play is full of sublime observations on romantic expectations and the roles men and women play (or are expected to play) and Director George Cukor (who directed our last movie "Gaslight") deftly brings together slapstick, sophistication and romance to create Hollywood's archetypal battle-of-the-sexes comedy.
