Rita Hunter Award 2012: "Star Performer"

Last night Culter Theatre Club had a get together of cast and crew to celebrate the success of our most recent pantomime, Beauty and the Beast, which was enjoyed by hundreds of people over five shows just before Christmas.

As part of the evening, we also remembered Rita Hunter, who had been a member of the club for over twenty years and was a cast member in the club’s very first Pantomime, Robin Hood and his Merry Loons, playing the part of “The Fairy Queen” back in 1992.  Sadly, Rita passed away last year, but over the years she had been involved in all aspects of the theatre club, from performing on stage, creating costumes and being part of the production team, to writing scripts and directing.

Rita was always an encouragement to other club members, and a real support and mentor to many.  For that reason the club felt that one way to remember her, and to continue that encouragement she gave, would be to have an annual award in her name which celebrates some aspect of the work that a member of the club has achieved over the previous year.  This could be from any aspect of putting on a show; for particular flair on stage, superb set design or backstage work, to being a genius on the follow spot!

This year therefore, after a unanimous committee decision, I was very pleased to be able to present the Rita Hunter Award Shield to our “Star Performer”, Callum Turner (16) from Newtonhill.  Callum is one of the pupils at Camphill School Aberdeen and he has come from just watching the panto, to this time being right up there on stage doing a fantastic job with lines, singing, and dancing as one of Gustave’s Gang.  His boundless energy and enthusiasm was an encouragement to all the cast and crew, and his honesty and commitment through all the many weeks of rehearsals and the show itself was a true example to us all.  A well-deserved recipient of the Rita Hunter Award for 2012, our congratulations and best wishes from all the club go to Callum Turner.  Well done!

Culter Theatre Club Chairman

'Allo! 'Allo! Are you receiving me?

With over a month to go, both Friday and Saturday nights are Sold Out and Thursday has only a few places left.  If you are planning on coming along to see 'Allo 'Allo this year (and there isn't going to be another run any time soon), then you really need to get your skates on and book your tickets!  We'd hate for you to miss out on this fabulous show!

Fortunately we still have tickets left for Wednesday night (and a limited few for Thursday), but don't delay, at the rate they're going there won't be many left for long!

Photos from Beauty & The Beast

So another panto year is over, and we hope that you all had as much fun watching as the players did in performing the Culter Theatre Club's Christmas Panto 2012, Beauty & The Beast.  Our five nights were a sell out, and our closing night performance gained a standing ovation!

So sit back and take a browse through some our our candid shots from the performances, relive the moments if you were there, have a look and see if you can recognise anyone if you weren't, and see if you can spot your favourite characters from the cast! 

See the gallery and programme on the Beauty & The Beast 2012 page.

’Allo ’Allo: This is Nighthawk calling!

Well, whether you're coming to see Beauty & The Beast tonight or over the next few days, we hope you like what you see, and come away having enjoyed the show with a spring in your step and a smile on your face.

We'd also like to see you again - and the next opportunity for that will be in March, when we'll be running our show ’Allo ’Allo, for the second time.  Some of you may know that we ran this show in May earlier this year, and it was such a sell-out success, that by popular demand we're bringing it back in 2013 so that even more of you can get to see it (we were sold out a month in advance last time, and many people were disappointed that they couldn't get tickets).

’Allo ’Allo is of course based on that well loved BBC TV series of the 80's, and the content is aimed at the more mature audience.  Well, when we say "mature" that's solely in terms of age of course!  So if you like a good sausage gag, and the painting of the Fallen Madonna (with the big you-know-whats) takes pride of place over your mantelpiece, then this show - heaped full of double entendres - is the show for you!  All that coupled with the fact that the theatre is set out "café bistro" style, with snacks and nibbles provided, and we have a "bring your own bottle" policy, means that you're sure to have a fantastic night out!

Tickets will be on sale in the new year, so watch this space for more information, and once they go on sale don't delay as we're expecting them to sell like hot cakes once again!
