Upcoming Productions
Our next project is something a bit different!
We are doing a variety show in conjunction with the Summer Carnival in June.
If you want to see what other talents our Open Door members have to offer come along to the Masonic Hall on the 20th June.
Past Productions
We have numerous past productions, going back a couple of decades. So here are some of our more recent shows.
Babes in the Wood
Dame, Molly Coddles, with one of our Babes, Penny.
The dynamic duo, Fidget Spinner and his girlfriend, Flick.
In December 2024, we did our pantomime, a 70’s disco version of Babes in the Wood.
When Pip & Penny inherit performance venue ‘The Wood’, their Uncle Hardknutt will do anything to take it of their hands.
With help from bands, Robin Hood & his Merrymen and Marion & the Marionettes, they foil Uncle Hardknutts plans. Although the real hero is Pip & Penny’s rent-a-fairy godmother, who shows up to save the day.
It was filled with sickenly bright clashing colours, many a bopping beat and laughs for days.
Bungle doing some dastardly deed!
Uncle Hardknutt with his less than intelligent henchmen, Botch, Bungle & Bodger.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
For the Shetland County Drama Festival 2024 we performed a half hour version of Shakespeares ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.
Still filled with all the fairy antics of Puck & Oberon, along side Bottoms starring role in the play within a play.
We had a good success with this show and came away the Best Stage Production award.
