POST-SHOW POST

A big post-show hello from all at 3-T and a huge thank you to everybody who came along to support us in our magical ‘Dear Brutus’ by J.M. Barrie!  We were, yet again, overwhelmed with the wonderful reception we received from our audiences who were enthusing about, not just the piece itself, but the set, costumes and overall magical ambiance we managed to create with sound and lighting too.  We had a wonderful 4-star review from All Edinburgh Theatre and a glowing report from NODA Scotland President, Stuart McCue-Dick.  We loved every minute of it and are just sorry that it ended so soon.
Of course, with the show now over, I have the unenviable task of selecting next year’s offering and I know that it will be incredibly difficult, if last year was anything to go by.  I have already been reading scripts, have a few ideas in mind, and will look forward to revealing our choice as soon as possible.  However, after finishing ‘Dear Brutus’ and then heading straight into directing and performing in a production of ‘The Sorcerer’ with Dunfermline Gilbert and Sullivan Society, I think that a holiday will be on the cards before any decisions are made.
Our move to the Church Hill Theatre this year was a success on the whole and they were incredibly helpful with all aspects of the show.  It would have been nice to have filled it with slightly bigger audiences (although we didn’t do too badly) but hopefully as time goes on and more and more people hear about us then our numbers will increase.  We did pretty well for a play though in just our second year, as they are generally a much harder sell than musicals.

It was lovely to have an increased cast this year and great from my point of view as director to work with some new faces who all had different levels of experience, as well as the familiar faces of course!  I will be trying to keep the numbers up again this year if possible to try to get as many people involved as I can.  Although my ultimate aim is to perform one play and one musical per year, I will probably be sticking to a play again for 2020 to allow us to build up some funds for a more costly musical undertaking.  After coming in at a loss last year we have, thankfully, made a small profit this year! Hurrah!! 

So, I will get back to the script-reading, between the multiple theatre visits we are currently doing to support our Threepenny family and friends – and what a treat that is proving to be!  Our lovely Rebekah is wowing audiences this week with her wonderful performances of Eliza Doolittle in ‘My Fair Lady’ and making everybody here at Threepenny very, very proud.  I know that there are some fantastic productions still to come too in what is affectionately known as the ‘amateur season’ in Edinburgh.  The wealth of theatre talent (both onstage and backstage) we have in Scotland is astounding and we are very lucky to be a part of the wider amateur theatre family.
