Welcome to Pratts Bottom Dramatics Society in existence since 1953.

We are delighted that you are interested in being a part of our January 2024 production of Beauty and the Beast by Tom Whalley.

This production will be directed by Michael Darbon and choreographed by Stacey Poole.

Rehearsals are every Monday and Wednesday starting from the 20th September, pausing for a little break and Christmas and then resuming up until the show week. Rehearsals start at 7.15pm prompt.

Show week is the week commencing 22rd of January 2024. Saturday the 20th January is our get in date where everyone is expected to attend to help build the set and to set up the dressing rooms. We will have 4 performances 24th 25th, 26th and 27th January 2024 all starting at 7.30pm with a matinee on the 27th starting at 2pm. The set down and get out date is the 28th January and again everyone is expected to attend. 

Membership to the society is free however if you are acting on stage then you are expected to contribute to your costumes up to £50. Our costume designer is unable to make every single costume so you will be required to purchase some of your costumes. Backstage members of the company are required to wear blacks and again these are to be purchased. We also have a tea and coffee fund during rehearsals that we ask for 50p a rehearsal to cover the cost of tea, coffee and biscuits.

All company members are required to follow our Code of Conduct policy. All of which can be found on our website. 

I wish you every success in your auditions and look forward to working with you as we move together in creating a fantastic show after so many months of inactivity.  The final cast, with understudies will be announced shortly after auditions.  

Kind regards

Jack Holloway
