We perform our play on a couple of days leading up to Christmas (except when snow and apathy ruled in 2010) in and around the Stroud area. We take a collection and give all of the takings to a local charity, preferably a small one to whom our small donation might make a bit of a difference. (Our donee in 2009 was The Door Youth Project in Stroud and again in 2011 and 2012).
There are only a few of us and we usually struggle to get enough players together to put on a performance so any offers of new talent would be welcomed. No acting skills are needed (and, indeed, are discouraged) and our practice usually comprises a quick run-through in a pub car park before our first performance of the season. However, performers must be prepared to make themselves look like idiots. In this we take pride.
Talking of which, here is a picture (Rose and Crown, Nympsfield, 2009):
and here's a video taken in the George, Frocester in 2008.
