Autumn/Winter Season 2011/2012
Season of ‘mists and mellow fruitfulness’ and……Christmas and pantomimes! In fact, it’s time to think about another season of entertainment and absorbing hobbies, to help you through the cold, dark days. With income on ticket sales down and the prices of everything up, this will be a challenging season for BArts and its groups, but we can still offer you a wide range of activities and events, in spite of a reduced budget.
Our four local theatre groups — Broxbourne Theatre Company, Cheshunt Dramatic Society, EHOS and Hoddesdon Players — are presenting ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, ‘Cinderella’, ‘Return To The Forbidden Planet’, ‘Bouncers’ and ‘Steel Magnolias’ between September and the end of March, which should provide something for every age group and taste.
Hoddesdon Music Club and the QC Chamber Choir have seven concerts planned for lovers of classical music and BArts will be continuing to sponsor the free lunchtime concerts in the Spotlight Bistro at Broxbourne Civic Hall on the first Wednesday in every month. These have proved very popular and have, incidentally, increased the number of lunches served. You don’t have to buy a lunch, though!
BArts has two large scale exhibitions ‘Reflections’ in September and ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful’ in March, which will provide the ideal outlet for work by independent artists as well as our seven visual arts groups, including recently affiliated Hoddesdon Camera Club.
While the three local U3A groups, Broxbourne, Cheshunt and Lea Valley offer an incredible number of interest groups and activities for the 50+ age group, the six performing arts schools provide stimulating and exciting opportunities in Dance Drama , and Music for the youngsters and tuition for adults, too.
BArts’ Let’s Do Lunch series enters its 12th season with four new titles between September and March; since most usually sell out very quickly each has a repeat at Mayhem Theatre Arts.
As usual, we have our open evening in October — ’The Artful Badger’ on 12th October at Broxbourne Civic Hall — which is open to the general public and offers some free entertainment. You don’t need a ticket… just come along at 7.00 pm! We look forward to your support.
