PENTON PLAYERS

The village amateur dramatic group

We put on plays or musical shows once or twice a year, typically in May and November.  There are many different ways to get involved and it's a great way to meet neighbours and have fun. 

The next performance will be a variety show with a Christmas / musical theme on November 27/28/29, followed by a full-length play in Spring 2009 (dates TBC). 

Past triumphs have included Absurd Person Singular, Blithe Spirit, Music Halls and many others over the past twenty years we've been going. 

Call Paul Booth (01264-) 771741 or Heather Carrick (01264-) 772917 for a talk about it.
