The Addams' are waiting for you at The Little Theatre

THEY'RE READY: Don't miss The Addams Family this week

By Jennifer Corcoran and Andrew Sloman

Southport Little Theatre, the home of the Southport Dramatic Club is back in business for 2023/2024 and there are currently four different shows at various stages. The Addams Family opens this week. The musical version of this family favourite is performed by our youth theatre and runs from Wednesday 23rd-Saturday 26th August at 7:30pm each evening, with a 2:30pm matinee on Saturday 26th.

The bar will be open before and after the evening performances, as well as during the interval. Soft drinks, sweets and programmes are available in the foyer too.

The programme is well worth a look – you will see over 25 in the cast but a further 35 members make up the production and tech team as well as matrons and many more still have contributed to the show going on.

Also in rehearsal is Black Coffee, an Agatha Christie mystery featuring Hercule Poirot. The cunning cast of 13 are being herded by Ange McIntyre, making her debut as director.

The play opens on Friday 15th September and runs until Saturday 23rd September. Our matinee performances were very popular earlier this year, so the first Saturday of each full run will now be at 2:30pm instead of 7:30pm.

Home, I’m Darling, an observational drama by Laura Wade has been cast and is in rehearsal with Steve Pritchard at the helm. This show runs from 20-28th October 2023.

Last week Mike Yates gave his directorial vision for Francis Durbridge thriller House Guest and auditions are being held this week with the performances in November.
