And that's lights out for Little Grimley, and this time not because no one paid the power bill!

Another fantastic season at the Boathouse Theatre has come to the end.

It takes a team to put on a show - for every person you see on stage, there are at least twice as many back stage and behind the scenes.

Thank you to everyone on and off stage for your unwavering dedication, boundless energy and robust sense of humour, thank you to family and loved ones who support us to do our cherished passion, thank you to our invaluable volunteers on bar and ushering duties, and thank you to our Boathouse audiences, for sharing in the joy of these plays.

Friendships formed, friendships strengthened, it’s never good bye, just see you later... at the next one!

(Speaking of which, audition dates will be released this week for our next show! Roger Hall's Jack and the Beanstalk directed by Sam Baxter.)

So for now, this is the cast and crew of Little Grimley concluding the business at hand and closing the meeting!

Time to get some rest!

🎭 LAST CHANCE – LAST NIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT! 🎭

The curtain is almost down on Little Grimley – and if you haven't been yet, Saturday night is your LAST CHANCE to see four highly questionable committee members desperately trying to keep their amateur dramatic society alive.

😂 Saturday night is the FINAL performance!

🎟️ Come along. Laugh at them. Feel slightly sorry for them. And be thankful you're not on the committee.

Little Grimley – last chance, last laugh!

Reviews are in! A wonderful opening night with a fantastic audience who laughed their heads off - the perfect antidote for a chilly weekday night!

The play only has nine more performances - don't miss out!

Aley Matthews, Amanda Tollemache, Paul Southey, and Peter Morice receive warm and deserved applause at the finish of their opening night performance.
