The Hawarden Players have completed yet another hugely successful run of shows!  a few weeks ago the group performed Sherlock Holmes and the case of the stolen suspender. Audiences braved the heat (we always seem pick the weekends with extreme weather dont we!) in their droves, and joined us for our night of fun and frivolity at the Hawarden Institiute.

The laughs came thick and fast from start to finish, and we had a huge turnout for all three nights – including 2 complete sell out shows on the Friday & Saturday – which in itself is something the group are very proud of and would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended!
Photos of the show in dress rehearsal are available in our gallery and here is a small video showing you just some of the tasks that take place during a ‘get in’ the weekend before a performance:

So, moving forward, what is next?
Well after a well deserved break for the summer holidays, the Hawarden Players already have 3 dates for your diary!
The group are holding a welcome evening for prospective new members to come and meet the team on Tuesday 3rd September at the Hawarden Institute, Glynne Way, Hawarden at 8pm.  We are looking for anyone over 16 who wishes to tread the boards, or help out in a backstage or technical capacity!

On the 10th September, there will be a first read-through of our next show – a brand new pantomime, written within the group. This years original panto is entitled ‘Alice In Jungleland’ is being written by Fiona Burdsall and Kevin Dye and promises to bring a brand new twist to the classic story!
