The Darker Side Of Amateur Theatre!

Where there's muck, there's brass!

I'll introduce this with a little about myself. I'm northen. That to you either means I'm hard working, dedicated, salt of the earth. Or it means I moan a lot and can't pronounce a lot of words correctly. However, no matter what you think, I know when hard work is important. Nowhere more so than in amateur theatre!

Would you believe one garage could hold this much? Only in amateur theatre...

Codsall Dramatic Society members over a couple of Saturdays recently sorted out the costume store, basically a garage that the society uses to store all the costumes that have been used in the past to entertain, sadden and baffle audiences in our many amateur theatre productions (not to mention embarassing every member of cast we've ever had...)

Trust me this isn't even the worst one...

Yet out of these strange and indeed entertaining experiences, there is so much to be gained. No longer is the dragons head that was once used so magnificantly for that one play 10 years ago lost (though on reflection it could use some febreeze), returned are those somber army uniforms, that made many an old lady weep in our last great war epic and rest assured, no ugly sister will ever be without a costume again...

Trust me, this isn't even the worst thing we found...

Without this kind of effort, amateur theatre would never get off the ground, we'd be languishing in barren rooms, with no props (since when does orange juice even look like whiskey) and no costumes (we've still got clothes, steady on!) Amateur Theatre globally relies on people mucking in. So to all you people, I salute you!
