 Previously known as the Green Room, HAODS have now renamed the space HAODS Studio. This new title will reflect the active work which takes place in the Studio such as rehearsing, dancing, socialising and performing. Situated next to the Kenton Theatre, the new status is heralded by a shiny new plaque on the street door. HAODS is a vibrant Society with lots going on, so we felt that “The Green Room” was no longer an appropriate title for our headquarters, because of the diverse nature of the activities that go on there, and although we have a great relationship with the Kenton, we need to let the public know that we are a separate organisation. I hope that the new name will raise the profile of the Society by taking our name “out on the street” as it were.
In celebration of this new status, we want to add another dimension to the Studio by inviting the public as well as members in to workshops and productions. The Studio is an intimate venue and HAODS wants to bring more high quality low-cost drama to Henley. Audiences will really feel part of the action. We have asked distinguished director, Mike Huntington, to take on the first Studio Production, which will be J. B. Priestley’s Dangerous Corner. Priestley was one of the outstanding English authors of the 1930’s. He was the first to use time tricks and flashback in his works, which made the break in the means of development of the character as they appear in a new light before our eyes, and the time trick allows us to investigate them in a new, deeper level. In producing this play in the round Mike hopes to introduce new and unexplored aspects of this complex drama.
If you would like to be part of the production, come along to one of the information evenings: on 27 and 28 April 8 p.m, with Auditions Wednesday 4 May at 8pm.
For further information on the production, contact Mike on 07786 263297.
Dangerous Corner will be performed in the round in the Studio from 13th – 16th July 2011. All tickets are £7 - Call 07514 054 384 to reserve your seat.
