Looking back

For the second year running, we have been awarded an accolade of excellence by NODA, this time for our production of The Pajama Game.  The review of The Pajama Game from our NODA representative is available from the site - just click on the link to read it.  To whet your appetite, it begins "This was a splendid production.  It was particularly well cast with all the artistes being exactly right for their respective roles."
