Spotlight Theatre to host a great run of shows
Bridlington’s Spotlight Theatre is showcasing a wide variety of events over the coming months.
This weekend, the venue hosts ‘One More Time’
The show takes place tomorrow (Friday, November 13); Saturday, November 14; and Sunday, November 15.
Many years ago, ‘Beatrice’ was a leading light of the Music Hall era, gracing stages up and down the country as part of a famous double-act.
Now she resides at ‘Sunny Villas Care Home’ and is suffering from dementia, but ‘Beatrice’ believes she is still a working act and every night, she prepares for her next performance, thanks to the staff and residents, who go along with the charade and make her into a star once again.
Other Lives Productions will perform their ‘Winter Warmers’ on Sunday, November 29.
Richard Avery and Neil King present a panoply of readings, snippets and factoids to warm you, including a semi-dramatisation of John Keats’ The Eve of St Agnes.
Spotlight Theatre will then deliver a full-on seasonal spectacular variety show!
A Christmas Cracker is proudly directed by Laura Jenkinson and Chris Dart and showcases the theatre’s exceptionally talented cast, ready to entertain and delight audiences of all ages.
The production takes place on Tuesday, December 1; Wednesday, December 2; Thursday, December 3; Friday, December 4; Saturday, December 5; and Sunday, December 6.
Christmas with the Ebor String Quartet will take centre stage on Monday, December 7.
The spokesperson added: “Following the huge success and sell out performance in June, we're delighted to welcome The Ebor String Quartet back to Spotlight Theatre this December.
“Join us for a wonderful evening of beautiful Christmas music, performed by four incredibly talented musicians.”
The programme then builds up to the highlight of the year – Spotlight Theatre’s panto – Beauty and the Beast.
A spokesperson said: “Get ready for a magical adventure packed with laughter, romance, music, mayhem and plenty of audience participation!
“Join Beauty, her eccentric inventor father Morris, lovable French Franc, the larger-than-life Madame Potty, the mysterious Beast, the wicked Evanora and the ever-helpful Fairy Rosa as they journey from their village to an enchanted castle where nothing is quite as it seems.
“Can Beauty see beyond the Beast’s frightening appearance? Will true love break the curse before the final petal falls? And can Fairy Rosa stop the wicked Evanora from getting her hands on the throne?
“With ridiculous inventions, hilarious characters, magical moments and classic panto fun, The Beauty and the Beast promises an unforgettable adventure for the whole family.”
The panto showcases on Friday, December 11; Saturday, December 12; Sunday, December 13; Friday, December 18; Saturday, December 19; Sunday, December 20; Monday, December 21; Tuesday, December 22; Sunday, December 27; Monday, December 28; Tuesday, December 29; and Wednesday, December 30.
