This year is the 75th anniversary of Saddleworth Players, and we will be marking the occasion in a few different ways over the forthcoming months. First of all, we will be producing a commemorative programme for the final play of the season, Rumours, which will look back at the history of the theatre, as well as our plans for the future.

We are also holding a celebration ball, on July 4th at the Civic Hall in Uppermill. Tickets are £20 each, with music from the Dave Donohoe Band, and a buffet supper by Clough Manor. To find out more, contact the box office on 01457 874644.

The next play reading will be onTuesday 2nd June at 7-30pm in the theatre bar when we will read George Bernard Shaw's "Caesar and Cleopatra" Forget Shakespear's "Cleopatra" this is a young and skitish girl meeting an older and wiser man who sets her on the road to full womanhood. It is full of Shaw's wit. For any further information contact Frank Boocock on 01457 873985 or on fandmboo@btinternet.com
