84 Charing Cross Road announced as Spring Production!

February 4, 2019, Posted in News

We are delighted to announce that our Spring production will be 84 Charing Cross Road by James Roose-Evans based on the book by Helene Hanff. 
 
This is a heartwarming and moving story based on the remarkable Trans-Atlantic correspondence between New York screenwriter Helene Hanff and the staff at London antiquarian bookshop Marks & Co. 
But this is no mere recital of letters as the relationships grow beyond the initial book orders to take in witty literary repartee, shared personal lives and a certain kind of love affair.
On a stage divided between Miss Hanff’s cluttered Manhattan apartment and the inviting mustiness of the Marks & Co bookshop, the audience will watch common passions and mutual care develop over twenty years through post war austerity to “Swinging London” into bo...

Next Generation –  Wind in the Willows Auditions 27th January @ 3.30pm
We are delighted to announce that our young actors company (for 12-16 year olds) will be performing Wind in the Willows at The Haslemere Hall on the 14/15 June.  This is a musical version of the classic story of the adventures of Mr Toad, Ratty, Mole and Badger as they come up against the dastardly wild wooders who are intent on taking over Toad Hall by making sure Mr Toad goes to prison for ever.  Our version has been written by our very own Adam Forde with music by David Perkins.  There are plenty of fabulous characters and great opportunities for singers and non singers.

I will be co-directing alongside Naomi Robertson with Lizzie Hales as MD and Jenny Manville as producer.

 We will be holding a workshop styl...

Cinderella in review – half way through our run!

January 14, 2019, Posted in News

We have just 3 performances left of our brilliant Cinderella pantomime! But don’t take our word for it (or the sold out performances), have a read of the review we received below!

Cinderella – Friday 11th January 2019

“I have been an attendee at the Haslemere Thespians’ annual pantomime at the Haslemere Hall for many years now. We took our children when they were small and then found we kept going even when they were “too cool” for it. Last night I had the pleasure of watching the Thespians’ 2019 production of Cinderella. And I have to say, it was brilliant! I went along with every intention to write a very balanced review but it really was fantastic...

Are you coming to the Ball?

October 11, 2018, Posted in News

Yes, it’s that time of year again – Oh no it isn’t, Oh yes it is, Oh…..you get the idea!

The Haslemere Thespians invite you to join them for their traditional family pantomime and January 2019 will be the turn of Cinderella, the classic fairy-tale story of a beautiful heroine, a charming prince, two mean ugly sisters, a fairy godmother, a pumpkin coach, glass slippers, the ultimate midnight curfew, and true love spreading happiness ever after.

All the glitz, glamour and spectacle which have come to be expected from Haslemere’s favourite pantomime will be present, not forgetting the fun, jokes and audience participation! Cinderella will run for eight performances at the Haslemere Hall from Friday 11th to Saturday 19th January 2019, and is the perfect fairy-tale adventure for the...

The ladies are coming for you!

September 6, 2018, Posted in News

Hello Thespian followers!

After an astounding summer (though it’s not giving up just yet!), we have a tale to ease you into Autumn from the 4th – 6th October.

Ladies Day, by Amanda Whittington and set in 2005, is the story of four friends that work in a fish packing plant, enduring the routinely slog day in, day out. But their luck is about to change when Ascot Races come to the north! Shelley is looking for her big break, Jan has got a big decision to make, Pearl is keeping a secret from them all and Linda needs to shake up her home life – all over some champagne and a cheese and pickle sandwich!

The humour is rife throughout with well placed and touching moments that reveal our character’s inner demons, personal goals and broken hearts...
