We are celebrating success this month as, together with Preppies Youth Theatre, we picked up 7 nominations and 3 District Awards at the North East region of the National Operatic and Dramatic Association Awards at the Grand Hotel Gosforth Park on Saturday 7th October for our production of The Wizard of Oz at Ponteland Memorial Hall.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Three of the community\u2019s young actors, Bryony Wilkinson, Jack Stuart and Matthew Hunter were recognised for their individual performances and the production also won o<\/span>verall Youth Production for our district.<\/span><\/p>

Director, Hayley Grant, had this to say: “It\u2019s fantastic for both the Rep and Preppies to be recognised in this way.\u00a0 We were just so pleased to finally be able to stage the show after so many false starts during Covid.\u00a0 Winning an award is just the icing on the cake and really great for the whole cast and crew who worked so hard \u2013 over such a long period of time.\u00a0 We are so grateful to our loyal Ponteland audiences who came back to see us.\u00a0 As a charity we really couldn\u2019t put on a show without them \u2013 this year we even \u2018crowd sourced\u2019 the plants for our on-stage garden thanks to Ponteland residents!”<\/p>

The Rep goes from strength to strength \u2013 increasing the\u00a0variety, frequency and venues of its theatrical offerings to Ponteland and the surrounding areas. Since the production of Wizard, the society has staged a very highly reviewed production of Oscar Wilde\u2019s The Importance of Being Earnest, a theatrical choir performance in St Mary\u2019s Church, a new venue for the society, and, most recently an +18 Improvised Comedy night at Ponteland Memorial Hall where audiences \u2018didn\u2019t stop laughing for the entire show\u2019.<\/p>

Chairman, Jason Long, says “The Rep has been at the heart of Ponteland community events for over 100 years. It\u2019s great that we can evolve to put on a wide range of events to suit all ages and tastes and provide a fabulous, cost effective night out at the theatre in these difficult times. We\u2019re a friendly and inclusive society \u2013 we have recently been fortunate enough to attract several new members to the society, but we are always looking for more \u2013 onstage or backstage. You can get in touch with us through our website, Facebook page or Instagram account. Hopefully we will continue to grow and serve Ponteland and the Tyne Valley for another 100 years!”<\/p>

Looking forward, we are hard at work rehearsing for our annual musical which, this year, is a pantomime take on Disney\u2019s Beauty and the Beast. It will be staged at Ponteland Memorial Hall from Friday 17th to Sunday 19th November and is sure to be great fun for all the family!\u00a0 Get your tickets now using the link below.<\/p>
