STEWARTON DRAMA GROUP will
open their 45th season on Wednesday 9
August 2017 with an Open Evening aimed
at recruiting potential new members and
new patrons. The club is always keen to meet
people in the local area who are interested in
any aspect of drama or theatre arts and the
Open Evening will be a perfect opportunity for
people to come along and find out more.
The Group meet on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings in their own Premises, complete
with a fully functional stage, rehearsal room,
costume store, kitchen and lounge, in the Scout
Building, Corsehillbank Street, beside the
Tennis Courts in Stewarton.
Productions are cast by all interested Group
members reading a section of the play script at
a casting evening, so that the director can select
the right actors and actresses for the parts.
The Group then get to work on the technical
side of the production where there is always
plenty to do building the scenery, designing
and painting the set, collecting or making the
props, preparing the lighting and sound plans,
and choosing the right costumes, music and
stage make-up.
Season 2016-17 was a tremendous success for
the Group. The season opened with an informal
‘New Members & Patrons Open Evening’
in August, which saw several new members
join the club and go on to give their debut
performance for SDG later in the year. The
group’s annual Pantomime ‘Harry Potter and
the Yellow Brick Road’ played to packed houses
in the Stewarton Area Centre in December,
and later in the season the group performed
their memorable production of the hit comedy
play ‘Ladies Day’ which delighted audiences
in March. In addition to this, the group
performed two further “in-house” productions
in their Premises in September and March for
the enjoyment of their loyal Patrons.
If all of that encourages you to find out
more about getting involved next season, the
Group are inviting anyone, over the age of 18,
interested in local theatre to drop into their
Premises in the town’s Corsehillbank Street on
Wednesday 09 August from 7.30pm. This will
be a great chance to come along, see round the
Premises, have a chat with existing members,
and find out more about the Group’s planned
productions for the new drama season 2017-18.
Alternatively, for only £30 a year you can
become a Patron of the award-winning Group
and receive two tickets for each of their annual
shows in the Stewarton Area Centre as well as
a complimentary copy of the Group’s monthly
newsletter ‘Cuelines’ and invitations to any
in-house ‘Patrons Evenings’ that the group
perform within their own Premises.
Drama Group President, Alison Barr said:

the Group by becoming a Patron - please come
along and meet us on Wednesday 09 August in
our Premises.
