Well its Easter week and the Easter Bunnies are as busy as ever except this time they are producing NOT reproducing...! And, of course, the end product is HAODS Fiddler On The Roof, with a strong cast, some old and some new faces. Our 'New' (to us anyway) Director Diane Haylor together with MD Marc Pizer (of West Side Story fame) and Choreogeapher David Parsonson have crafted an emotional piece of theatre for your delectation with a strong and quite topical storyline plus some great songs: Sunrise, Sunset; Tradition, and of course If I Were a Rich Man (dibbee, dibbee, dibbee, dibbee, Do...Oh sorry..Karaoke not included!) Following our recent successes with West Side Story and Titanic~The Musical, you may need to actually book in advance to avoid disappointment! So if you have not got your tickets ring the Kenton Box Office now!! (01491 575 698)

You may have heard the exciting news that our Autumn production is to be Return To The Forbidden Planet, based loosely on Shakespear's The Tempest. Some great parts for all ages and nostalgic rock songs to really get you going... so come to the information days and see for yourselves (details later. Ed).

Our Festival Play, Happy Birthday Me, (written, and abridged for us by Simon Williams and directed by Nansi Diamond) is coming along nicely and will have it's first showing at the Kenton Festival 5th ~ 9th May. Come along to the whole week (Cheap tickets!) as Colin Dolly the Adjudicator is an act in himself and his comments are always pithy and entertaining and there is such a variety of shows to be seen.

We still need a few more volunteers to be Marshalls for the HAODS Fun Run on May 4th (Spring Bank Holiday Monday.) approx 10am to 12 noon...then to pub for helpers and the first round is on us! Ring me if you can help...it really is FUN!! (07786 620 622, or tjrymer@live.com)

As I am now more permanently in East Anglia this is likely to be my final year in office (7 years in total... ‘and it don't seem a day'...etc) We are seeking new committee members to continue the organisation and planning necessary to keep HAODS running and to hopefully maintain the reputation we have so rightly earned over the years... So don't be shy put yourself forward (some experience preferred but mentoring and ‘training' will be available) Give me or a Committee Member a ring, e-mail, or text...or whatever you use these days!

An finally, don't forget our terrific Web Site www.henleyoperatic.co.uk and see just how much is going on...Some great social events, play readings and of course SHOWS!

See you at Fiddler On The Roof...!?

All the best Terry Rymer
