Summer Production

AAD has for many years organised an annual summer production usually in the Open Air. Unfortunately the Development of the Blaise Site is still not in its final planning stage let alone on target for AAD to plan a production for 2007 - but we live in hope

This years Summer production is to be "We Happy Few" by Imogen Stubbs. This will be a touring production around the AAD area.

7/8 July Iron Acton Village Hall, South Glos

11/12 July The Mission Theatre BATH,

14/15 July Backwell Playhouse, BACKWELL

This splendid comedy by Imogen Stubbs is now on its feet and by the time this issue is published will be up and running - in other words, having cast we
will have had our initial get together and read-through. We were very encouraged by the numbers and quality at the auditions and are looking forward
to an exciting, and probably exhausting production. We will be doing most of our rehearsing in central Bristol as our net is cast as wide as Portishead and
Chipping Sodbury.

Now is the time we are getting our technical crew together - this touring production is a new venture for both of us. I keep saying 'just think one-act
festivals - but bigger!' and obviously the logistics of getting our act together on three very different stages with different technical equipment are considerable
- but not insurmountable.  We will be looking to AAD clubs to support us in this new venture so please keep an eye open, we are sure to be putting out pleas for props and costumes
in the next issue and what about putting a visit to Iron Acton, Bath or Backwell into your group's summer programme? We will really welcome your support.

Below is the cast list. Out of the fourteen, only four have appeared in summer productions before - do you know who they are?
