New paintings and regular art updates.
Hopefully our Mystery day this July will get lots of 1 page plays to read out at Harpers Titchy Theatre!
The idea is that the plays are put on like a radio play, the meaning is in the intonation of the words, subtle drama, facial expressions.
What to write about?
Yourself
Family
Gossip
Sci fi
Green men
Television shows
Games
Sport
Anything you want…..
Will be getting round to asking people soon….
It’s been a few years since we did a full mystery play, but we are trying to put something on for it’s 25th anniversary.
We’ve lost a few people along the way through health issues and retirement, but there’s still enthusiasm there we just need to mine for it!
Currently we are looking at putting on a days entertainment but costs are staring at us, everything from insurance to road closures, hiring the hall, making props, writing scripts, organising stalls and first aid, morris dancing and a tug of war. Singing and playlets. We may miss out the play itself, it’s up in the air.
Social media helps connect us. I hope people are listening. We have an old Facebook page that was last posted on in 2019…BC…brfore covid…. Fingers crossed people get involved.

Might set up a go fund me page.
What do you do to be involved in the community?
I’ve been in a couple of local community choirs for several years. Not church choirs, or ones where you have to audition or read music, but natural voice choirs where you choose where you want to sing depending on your voice. Sometimes I sing really low notes but sometimes I join in with the high parts if there is a shortage of sopranos.
I’ve got involved in local pantomimes and community plays as a Chorus member and even had a few roles in plays as a singer. It’s good for community cohesion and helps me mentally especially when I’m feeling down. It drags me out of the house when I would just like to ignore the world. I try and persuade people to join me as it’s been a big help to me over the years. It doesn’t solve all the issues but it ameliorates them.
If you want to be involved in the community I would recommend choir singing as an activity. Music helps calm you and can be very meditative.
