Tickets are still available for the final two performances of Seasons Greetings. Book your tickets to see some superb performances by our talented actors. Doors open at 18:45 at St. Teilo’s Church Hall, The Glebe, Bishopston.

A cold, drizzly, November night was soon forgotten as a sold out audience entered the warmth of St Teilos church hall last night. A buffet supplied by local family caterers “Dillys” offered a choice of tasty, festive nibbles accompanied by a warm mince pie in the interval.

Laughs were a plenty as a cast of well loved and experienced BATS actors staged a comedy with some poignant moments, about the joys of family members getting together over Christmas. Each character had been well written and the actors were evidently enjoying the chance to play quite varied roles. The array of props, 80’s costumes combined with some challenging lighting and sound can’t have made rehearsing the play easy, however the results are fantastic and produce a play not to be missed. Catch it before the end of the run next week

.

Rehearsals are going well. There is a buzz of excitement on the rehearsal days or is that panic. Some great performances from our talented cast members. All departments are gearing up and looking forward to the opening night on Friday 18th November 2016. Curtains up at 19:30 hrs.

Our extremely popular buffet night on Saturday 19th November 2016 is now sold out.

I have never seen so many props in one play, the green room looks like the backstage of the RSC!  Rehearsals are coming along nicely, everyone is working really hard and the cast have nearly all learned their lines!  I think the audience are going to really enjoy this play, I haven’t laughed this much since…well, since the last play!  We have had some guest appearances along the way, so thank you to those people who have helped us out!  The stage is now almost set and the lighting and sound is on track; now we just need to get the hundreds of props sorted and everything will be fine!

Wendy Thomas – Co Director.

The sell out audience really enjoyed the opening night of this comic production. On the first night of any performance you’d expect there to be some opening night nerves or forgotten lines, but it was a mark of how good the BATS cast and crew were that everything went perfectly for the first show.
Stand-out performances in a production of this standard can be difficult to isolate, but the audience really responded to Victoria’s (Julie Greenwood) and Melanie’s (Jan Hoggan) performances of ‘Polly Put My Stockings On’, ‘Recycling Muddle’ and ‘Mother Lover’!  The audiences for the remaining performances are in for a real treat, so if you haven’t got a ticket, I suggest you do so quickly.
