The Gage Players Newsletter – November 2024
Hello everyone,
Hope you are keeping warm and cosy now the nights are drawing in!
Let’s begin with news about our upcoming production
Little Grimley plays – 28th, 29th and 30 November at Riddell Hall, Walton on the Hill
Please make a note of the dates to see this brilliant cast of actors perform these funny and at times touching comedies
Performances will be at 8pm on 28, 29, 30 November 2024 at the Riddell Hall, Walton on theHill. Tickets will be £12.50 from the box office friends@thegageplayers.co.uk or phone 01737 812703.
Last Tango in Little Grimley – about an Amateur Dramatic Society that is in trouble. The membership has dwindled to four and it’s time for dramatic action. There’s only one thing that sells tickets these days – sex! Bur how will the locals react? Thus begins the chaos and builds up to an evening of extraordinary home-grown drama.
Lockdown in Little Grimley – in a time of lockdown, the Chairman Gordon calls an emergency meeting, complete with social distancing, to discuss his idea for the next production when restrictions ease – a touching love story in a hospital, with all the profits destined to the NHS, but will the NHS actually end up worse off?
Front of House – As usual there are many jobs to be done on the days of the shows, so if you would like to join our band of helpers for selling programmes, raffle tickets, serving in the bar and the coffee/tea bar we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact Beryl at friends@thegageplayers.co.uk
Our next Poetry and Prose evening will be at 8pm on Wednesday 11th December via Zoom. Let’s celebrate the beauty of winter, with its twinkling lights, gentle snowflakes, the warmth of a crackling fire, and the quiet moments of reflection. Do bring your favourite poems/ prose that capture the essence of winter in all its forms Whether you prefer to read or simply listen to others, it’s a lovely way to spend an hour or so, glass in hand perhaps, and to enjoy poetry and prose from the comfort of your home. If you would like to join us, please contact us at friends@thegageplayers.co.uk for the link to join our Zoom get together.

This is a captivating play that delves into the life and challenges of a seasoned actress, and perfectly captures the essence of our theatre’s 75-year journey, reflecting the humour and heartfelt moments that have defined our legacy.
