Supporting Amateur Theatre (or what happened to my weekend?)

Getting an amateur theatre production up and running is not easy. Normally it needs a huge amount of hard work and time. This all depends on the scale of the production. Take the last amateur theatre production I was involved in, Codsall Dramatic Society's Bring Me Sunshine, an evening of sketches in association with Codsall Singers.

This was done very simply, with seats around the outside, and all the action taking place in the centre of the room. This did not take a long time to set up, as staging goes. However, the amateur theatre production before that was The Titfield Thunderbolt...

 This involved a great deal more work, including the building of a train station, and a train(ish). This was an ambitious amateur theatre project, but it was also a highly successful one. Codsall Dramatic Society has gained a bit of a reputation in amateur theatre in Wolverhampton for set building, be it a train, a boat even for Way Up Stream, no challenge appears to be beyond this amateur theatre group. So, what can you expect from our next production? Why not join us and find out...
