March 2017

Mid Cheshire Musical Theatre Company

Social
The King and I is fast approaching and I am sure
it will be a fantastic show. See page 2 for full
details of the show.

There are a number of regular members who are

performing in the show and they will all be aware
of the next social event being organised by the committee. However there are quite a few
members who have not been able to take part in this show, so you may not yet be aware of the
Barn Dance/Ceilidh/Hoe Down which we have planned for 24th March 2017 at Winnington Rugby
Club at 7.30pm.

Tickets numbers are restricted and are selling pretty well, however it would be so nice to see as
many members and friends there as possible so we can have a fun social evening and catch up
with all that has been going on over the past few months.

For those of you who have never been to a ceilidh before, don’t worry. You don’t have to be able
to dance—no one will be expecting any Michael Flatley moves. But, if you do dance, you will
enjoy it. The caller, Ian McDougall takes you through the moves and every dance is really easy
to do.

Being pretty much an expert at ceilidhs (having played in a ceilidh band for many, many years..) I
know that everyone thoroughly enjoys the evenings and there is much laughter.

There is a bar at Winnington Rugby Club, however rather than

make the tickets expensive, we decided the best way to cater is for
you all to bring some form of nibbles for yourself. All drinks
however, must be purchased at the venue.

Tickets are £7 and can be obtained by either calling 01606 48577,

e-mailing sarahesherwood@btinternet.com or if attending King and
I rehearsals, Andy Fuller will have a supply of tickets with him.

It really would be so nice to see you all at there.

Facebook Group Pages

With each show performed by MCMTC, those of us who use Facebook have been given access
to members group pages. We have now closed all the former show group pages e.g. Jesus
Christ Superstar and South Pacific, however if you want to be kept up to date with information,
the main MCMTC members page can be accessed. Also, up to date information and lots of
historic pictures can be view on MCMTC’s webpage www.mcmtc.co.uk.
 Our next production, The King and I, is fast approaching and tickets are
starting to sell well. Do not miss out on the opportunity to see the
wonderful cast in this production. There is excellent choreography, lots
of colour and fantastic performances by all involved.

This really will be a show not to be missed. So much work goes into
each production, and all the time and effort will pay off when you see
the results at the Grange Theatre in April.

Anybody wishing to advertise in the programme should contact Sarah

Sherwood (sarahesherwood@btinternet.com). The cost is £25 for a
quarter page, £50 half page and £100 full page.
