Calling all directors
We are inviting pitches for our autumn and winter productions, and if you want to direct get in touch with Colin Macnee. You can download a guidance document here. We hope to return to The North Wall in October and the Old Fire Station in December and you can submit a play for a either production slot/venue or one play that would suit both. All pitches will be reviewed at the March Committee meeting. You don't have to have directed for us before and we can provide a mentor.

RSC and OTG
Last summer's production Macbeth rides again on March 25 as the Guild are invited to perform in the Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, as part of the RSC's Open Stages Regional Showcase. Open Stages is a nation-wide project celebrating amateur theatre and forging closer bonds between it and professional theatre. OTG was one of 263 amateur companies to get involved in 2011. The Regional Showcase in Stratford will allow some of the participants to see a glimpse of each other's work. The Macbeth cast will be performing the murder of Lady Macduff and Macduff's reaction in a seven minute slot. You can buy tickets online here: http://www.rsc.org.uk/whats-on/open-stages or call the box office on: 0844 800 1110
