Spring Has Sprung!

Posted by vaguetheatre at 07:04 AM on March 21, 2009 Comments comments (2)

Well it's officially Spring which is slightly concerning because that means we have a show to do in less than a couple of months. Fear not following the AGM we now have a plan for our 2009 season which is well underway.


Benita Finch and Steve Pollard witll kick off the year playing Henry and Alice in David Tristrams contemporary comedy The Secret Lives of Henry and Alice.  It appears that there is a lot going on in the local communities in May so we are yet to finalise the dates and venues.  Be rest assured, however, that we will be playing 4 dates at 4 venues across the South Lakes and beyond.  So thre is bound to be one near you.


The AGM also saw the election of Julie Haddock to the Vague committee.  Welcome aboard!  Andrew Holdsworth hasbecome extremely busy as technical support to a number of amteur groups, testiment to his professional and reliable manner.  He will still form an active part of Vague and we wish him well in all his other adventures - they're extremely lucky to have him on board.  Thanks for all your efforstd to date Andrew.


You may have also noticed that the website has evolved over the last few months.  This is partly down to our provider producing more software allowing us to run photo galleries and clips on various pages.  We hope you will have a look around and tell or your friends to aswell.  Let us know what you think on the Guestbook page.

'Hot' Off The Press - Our next production

Posted by vaguetheatre at 01:57 PM on May 23, 2008 Comments comments (0)
Rehearsals are under way for our Summer 2008 production:

    Last Of The Red Hot Lovers
by Neil Simon

The cast got together last night for the first proper rehearsal following casting and are starting the fun task of blocking the show before the fun of line learning can take place.

Last Of The Red Hot Lovers marks a departure from our planned production for this summer and the decision to change the show came very late on following some very long brain-storming. 

It has also given us an opportunity to welcome Julie Haddock to her first acting role in the society and wish her all the best in the role.

We are hoping to dazzle audiences in August with a very funny and interesting show and hope that you will welcome a very intresting set design and staging of this classic Neil Simon play.

Teechers - Post Production :o(

Posted by vaguetheatre at 04:59 PM on April 27, 2008 Comments comments (0)

Well that's it... the end!

After 3 shows the curtain fell on Vague Theatre Company's version of Teechers.  And what a run it was.  Three different venues and three great audiences.  It was great to hear all the feedback at the end of each night and I hope that many of the audience keep in touch and come to our next production.

I would like to take this oppertunity to thank everyone involved in Teechers as I was a great show to both direct and be in along with my buddies Hobby and Gail.  I was sad that it finished so soon but it means that on the horizon there must be a fresh challenge.

We met a lot of new people through Teechers and welcome each and every one of them to our Members Night on May 20th at The Bryce Institute, Burneside.  More details on the Members Evening page. 

Vague Theatre needs you!!!

Teechers - DRESS REHEARSAL

Posted by vaguetheatre at 05:00 AM on April 19, 2008 Comments comments (0)
OK so with nine and half hours until we open I thought that I would drop a note on Dress last night.

HOW EXCITING!  I had a great time.  Although I will put my hand up and admit to two fluffed lines!  I contest the one with Rose! And Ben made a boob too at least once so... lines are getting the better of us! HAHA Not to worry I'm sure we will be perfect tonight!.

Act 1
Steve started us off with a lovely light show that loosely resembled the lighting plot but soon we were on track to set the scene of our little show.  Some guess work was used in scene changes and Ben loves her broom and dirty mag so much she never seems to put them down...

Act 2
Woot woot!  My favorite!  Fast-paced and frantic... oh my red light...yum!  Not a lot more I can say about the second act... it was brill

Overall, a rather good Dress but not my voice is going so I'm of to he chemist for some advice...  I reckon a gin and tonic or 2 may help!

See you tonight ;o)

Teechers - Technical Rehearsal

Posted by vaguetheatre at 05:34 PM on April 17, 2008 Comments comments (1)
Well well well... That be how you do a Tech!

Just got in after a long night at Burneside completing the Tech for Teechers.  I reckon that it was one of the smoothest Tech's I have ever been involved in, which meant we even finished early!

Looking forward to the Dress tomorrow now which should be great fun and then the opening night on Saturday.

Hoping to fill the place as I would be a shame if the public missed our little show...

More after the Dress... break legs etc...

Teechers Update

Posted by vaguetheatre at 11:30 PM on April 01, 2008 Comments comments (1)

Well folks we are well on the way to readying the show for the waiting public.  The lines are almost in and the characters are coming along fantastically.  We are soon to move rehearsals into larger premises to develop the stagecraft and before we know it, it will be show week!!!

It's getting to that stage now where time appears to vanish as the publicity wheels are set in motion.  This weekend we are in the Westmorland Shopping Centre (in character) attempting to woo the wonderful public so make sure you pop in and say hello to us. 

Next on the agenda is getting the technical chaps up to speed then we are GO!

Watch this space for show week updates.
