Ever wanted to be in a local am-dram panto? Then here’s your chance as The Bartholomites would love to hear from you.
Why not come along to our production planning meeting on Sunday 15th September, 3.30pm at Horfield Methodist Church Hall. The script has yet to be chosen but we need to find our leading cast, supporting roles and the all-important chorus. We don’t hold auditions and no experience of being on-stage is required.
If being centre-stage doesn’t appeal to you, then there’s plenty to be done behind the scenes around production, stage management, scenery making, stage crew, lighting, producing, directing, and costumes.
For those people on-stage, rehearsals are weekly on Sunday afternoons and script readings start at the end of October with performances taking place on Thursday 20th, Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd February 2025. If you’re interested in helping behind the scenes, then timings will be different but come along to the planning meeting and find out more.
The Bartholomites was originally founded over 50 years ago by a group of friends. It was such a success that the experience was repeated the next year, and the year after that, up to today. Their more recent productions include Beauty and the Beast (2024 and Robin Hood (2023),.
Getting involved is a great way to do something a bit different, or reconnect with something that you’ve done in the past. Come on your own or bring along a friend or family member – it can be a great way to do something together. Hopefully we’ll see you on Sunday 15th September but if you have questions, contact thebartholomites@gmail.com
