Multi award winning Alnwick Stage Musical Society (ASMS) has been hard at work since last September on its next production - Cabaret On Broadway - a celebration of the greatest Broadway musicals. Huge chorus numbers, dance routines and solo performances will all be intertwined with an underlying story of the struggles, hopes, disappointments and successes of life on the stage. It draws together many of the best songs from the most popular Broadway shows including; Cabaret, Chicago, 42nd Street, Sweet Charity, Fame, Rent, Fiddler On The Roof, Sunset Boulevard, Les Misérables, The Greatest Showman and many more.

This year’s production was created by Leonie Airlie, Kellie Hughes who have been joined by Lynne Lambert and Peter Brown to produce a spectacular show where all the proceeds will go to The Playhouse’s Show Your Support Appeal.

PAST EVENTS

Support for the Playhouse Appeal has been fantastic and we would like to thank everyone who has donated so far helping us toward our target. Since closing the doors we have hosted a number of fundraising events at our temporary home at the Alnwick Lindisfarne Annex.

In December we had two festive concerts, Christmas Carols from the Alnwick Playhouse Concert Band on Sat 8^th followed by a Carol Concert from the Alnwick Playhouse Community Choir on the 10^th.

Tickets were free with a suggested donation of £10 which included a selection of sweet and savoury festive treats, including mince pies and mulled wine. Both were well attended and raised over £650.00 for the Playhouse appeal.

Floral Gift of Northumberland gave us a festive treat in December with two SOLD OUT workshops helping you create your own Christmas wreath.

Using locally sourced, naturally foraged findings Floral Gift provided everything needed to create your own decorations, including refreshments!

Tickets were £20 per person and it helped raise over £125.00 toward the appeal.

Thanks to everyone involved.

Our Playhouse Christmas Raffle was drawn at this year’s Alnwick BIG Christmas Sing in the marketplace. As well drawing the raffle the Christmas carols were accompanied by the Alnwick Playhouse Concert Band. The raffle helped to raise an incredible £1700.00 toward the redevelopment. Thanks to everyone who donated prizes.

The Duchess’s Community High School performed their show, Christmas Epiphany on the 19th & 20th December at the school, donating all the proceeds to the ‘Show Your Support Campaign’.

It was a fantastic production with a very talented cast. The Playhouse staff supported the production technically and with Front of House management.

Thanks to everyone involved!

‘All the money we raise from the show is going towards the Playhouse and contributing to the renovation. For all of us this means a lot because we all love performing on the Playhouse stage and working with the Playhouse staff. We have really missed being on the Playhouse stage this year and can’t wait to be back when the Playhouse re-opens!’

Our talented Mini Youth Theatre performed their musical version of 'Peter Pan' on Saturday 8^th December to family and friends at the Lindisfarne Annex.

The show was well supported and both the parents and children were delighted with their performance. It also raised a fantastic £254.16 toward the show you support appeal.

Thanks to everyone involved for all their hard work.
