As far as we know, Kay only ever appeared on the Kenton stage once (as a prostitute in a Henley Players Festival Play!) but she was always to be found backstage at most productions, as wardrobe mistress, seamstress or dresser. She was also an avid supporter of the HAODS field trips that often used to accompany shows and she went to Cornwall with the cast of ‘Rebecca' and ‘My Cousin Rachel' and Normandy with ‘Oh What a Lovely War' and ‘Happy as a Sandbag' to name just a few. What a pity ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum' never happened, she was already planning a trip to Rome! In memory of Kay, Ann Burley is organising an evening in the theatre on Saturday 21 May. This will be a fun evening of music and dance based on many of Kay's favourite shows, plus some tributes from her friends. Directed by Heather Simpkin, the show promises to be an excellent evening of entertainment and all for the bargain price of £10. There will be drinks and canapés before the show in the HAODS Studio and tickets for the reception and show combined are just £16. This is a fund-raising event and all money raised will be split between two of the charities Kay supported ‘Kenton for Keeps' and ‘Nazareth House', a home for children with Aids in Cape Town, South Africa. Please come and join us at our Koncert for Kay at the Kenton Theatre on Saturday 21 May at 8pm (reception at 7pm). Tickets are available from Jane Taylor on 01628 898038 or jane_taylor@talktalk.net

Kay Macara
was a member of HAODS and Henley Players for over 14 years until her
sad death last year from cancer. Soon after moving to Henley she
wandered into the Kenton Theatre one Saturday morning where Nansi
Diamond was doing coffee. They got chatting and she was soon totally
immersed in theatre life.
