’Allo ’Allo - Bring your donations!

The Brain Cancer Charity and DEC Ukraine Appeal
During the intervals for ’Allo ’Allo, we'll be collecting donations to be split between two very worthwhile charities. The Brain Tumour Charity, as this has affected us very deeply recently, and the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal to provide emergency food, water, shelter and healthcare to those affected by the current conflict.
 
If you're coming along to one of our shows, do give generously!

’Allo ’Allo Tickets Now On Sale!

Allo Allo Poster 2022

TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE for our "welcome back from lockdown" show of 'Allo 'Allo!

This hilarious comedy is once again being brought to life by Culter Theatre Club, after we first performed it in 2012. We've got some familiar faces in the cast, and some wonderful new performers to get you laughing - just watch you don't snort your red wine while eating your Brie when you see René's sausage!

If you've been before you'll know what a great show this is, so let your friends know so they don't miss out - we expect tickets to go quickly as all the previous shows have been sell-out performances!

Performances are 24th & 25th June, and 1st & 2nd July and start at 7.30pm. It'll be café style table seating, and you can bring your own bottle and snacks (we'll provide nibbles too!), and we'd be delighted if you want to dress for wartime France!  Then just sit back and enjoy the show!

This performance is for adults age 18+, although over 16s are permitted if accompanied by an adult.  Please be aware that this show is set in France during World War II, and as such will include characters, imagery and language from that period.

Not yet… but soon!

Sadly we won't be putting on a show this Christmas. We had looked at doing a shorter pantomime, or a musical revue of past shows, but with the restrictions still in place for the hall audience numbers and the guidelines for covid safe rehearsals for amateur performances, it would have meant the show would not be up to our usual standards.
 
We will be back in the summer, revisiting a little war torn cafe in France and we are really looking forward to putting on our biggest panto yet for our 30th show in Christmas 2022.
 
We will miss entertaining you all this Christmas, and hearing your laughter and applause, but we will see you soon, and as a certain French café owner would say........à bientôt.
