'Thespis' - a newsletter of amateur productions in the area
'Thespis' is a newsletter, produced by John Miles, of all the information on amateur drama productions in the Torbay and South Devon area.
The aim is for local groups to share information, help each other with casting, prop loans and to avoid clashes of production choices and dates.
If you are interested in taking part in amateur drama shows then this is the place to check out which groups exist, what shows are coming up and when auditions are being held.
Have fun on the stage or behind the scenes.
Update - 24.1.26
ere we are again!
If you're looking for some distraction from world politics and the weather, there are three productions finishing tonight. Be quick.
You'd be lucky (and I mean lucky) to get returns for 'Hercules', and I suspect the Totnes panto will be almost sold out, but the youth production at Toads has seats available.
Societies around the Bay are working on establishing their new year's schedule of productions, and I gather that there's no lack of ideas from hopeful prospective directors.... good. We need to encourage the next generation, but a wise committee must ensure sufficient box office favourites to steady the bank balance. It's not all "White Christmas" ... 'let's put on a show!' razzmatazz.
May the windmills of your mind turn into the 'Turbines of Tomorrow'.
Best wishes, John
