We have also completed shooting of our first feature film ‘Northside’  written by Simon.  It’s a family drama about a man who returns home after 10 years away.  We are currently in the process of editing the film and hope to have it ready for viewing by Christmas.  We will keep you updated on it’s progress as we move through the year.

Yesterday was our audition day for Romeo and Juliet and we were delighted with the range and quality of auditionees.  We will have a few new faces this year.  Hopefully we will be able to have another Actors blog to keep you updated with our progress.  I am particularly pleased that Fiona Rutherford is returning with her Clarsach  this year -  her music sounds wonderful in the chapel and really adds a wonderful dimension to the work.  Also Bill Scott our master costumier is already working away feverishly to create the huge number of frocks required for this year – we look forward to seeing his creations.

Our ticket office opens this week for advance purchases . Those on our mailing list should receive your letter over the coming days.  We are anticipating a huge demand for tickets this year as it will definately be the last chance to see us at the Chapel for several years.

I will try to keep this blog up to date with our progress as we move toward the opening night on July 31st.
