The Regal, Tenbury Wells, is happy to announce their 2019 Community Musical will be the family show, Annie. After the huge success of Oliver! and The Wizard of Oz, the Tenbury community musical is now an established part of the local arts calendar. The past two productions have regularly brought together nearly 100 performers, backstage people and filling the theatre for seven performances.

“The number of people who put their hand up to help is fantastic and again this year we really want to include as many of the community as possible. As well as local actors we need backstage people who will help with costumes, sewing, set building, finding and making props, helping on the technical team. It’s a truly community event and everyone loves being part of it. Many theatres produce a community musical as a way of bringing people together and ours is no exception. After our pantomime, the community musical is our second biggest production,” theatre manager Adey Ramsel explains. “We are also on the lookout for a show sponsor so if any local company out there wants to sponsor a large community event, email me and we can talk - no obligation!”

The auditions, to be held Sunday, February 24, are open to everyone; and the show runs from July 6 to 13.

The Regal is looking for adults, children, from seven years old to ... there is no upper age limit! There is something for everyone to do. Further show information can be picked up from the box office or email adey_ramsel@regaltenbury.co.uk for further information, a show pack, or to book an audition time.
