It's Pantomime Time Again - 04/01/2018

It's that time of year again...Oh no it isn't...Oh yes it is. Perth Drama is proud to present this years annual family Pantomime "Mother Hubbard," written and directed by our very own George Hutchison. We have Bo Peep, Frankie, Mother Hubbard (she lives in a shoe y'know) and the Fair Maid of Perth aswell as the baddies. But we'll keep them as a suprise.

This cultural highlight of 2018 for Perth starts on 31st January and runs until 3rd February, with the First Act starting at 7.30pm. There'll be a matinee at 2.30pm on 3rd February. Tickets will be available from Concorde Music, Scott Street; Giraffe Cafe, South Street; and online from TicketSource.

Pantomime Workshop - 06/09/2017

It will soon be that time of year again - Oh yes it will - and we are already looking forward to starting work on our Panto 'Old Mother Hubbard' straight after the run of 'The Screwtape Letters'. To that end, George Hutchison, who is writing and directing, will be holding a Panto Workshop in the club rooms on Sunday 17/9/17 from 2:00pm - 4:30pm. We hope you can all make it along. There will be some material coming out to you before that to help you participate.

The Screwtape Letters - 06/09/2017

Tickets are now on sale for Perth Drama Club’s next production of The Screwtape Letters, an adaptation by Nigel Forde of C.S. Lewis's classic masterpiece of satire.

In the Original, Lewis uses a series of letters written by Screwtape, to his nephew Wormwood (a senior devil and his novice tempter respectively), to offer a sardonic running commentary on the temptations of the modern world. The letters offer advice on ways of winning over a wavering soul to the devil and lists the various possibilities, from using the power of mundane materialism and exploiting the petty snobberies of organised religion to using the lure of novelty and the insidiousness of pride.

Forde's adaptation brings the action to life, creating a piece that is lively and very funny, and which shines an ironic light on the foibles of humanity. The action takes place in and from the viewpoint of a university, where Screwtape is a senior academic in the Department of Hell and Damnation. Wormwood and others are his students who try, but often fail, to do his bidding. Comic yet serious, the play reverses the grandiose temptations offered to Marlowe's Dr Faustus, suggesting instead that "...the safest road to Hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."

As well as involving a cast and support team ranging in age from 18 to 60+ this will be a piece of community theatre with high production values that will not only develop the theatre skills of its participants but also entertain and stimulate its audiences.

Performances will take place at 7.30pm, 4th-7th October 2017, at St Matthews Church, Tay Street, Perth.

Tickets are available from Concorde Music, Scott Street, Perth; Giraffe, South Street, Perth; and TicketSource.

Perth Drama Club Pub Quiz - 24/06/2017

Club Nights - 21/05/2017

Perth Drama Club have wrapped their run of Bernard Shaw's "The Devil's Disciple" with three well-attended performances. The Club now have their eyes set on their next production. Keep your eyes peeled - details will be announced shortly.

The Devil's Disciple - 16/04/2017

Perth Drama Club is pleased to announce that our next production will be Bernard Shaw's "The Devils Disciple." Set in 1777 towards the end of the American War of Independence this piece centres round the character of Richard Dudgeon, who has been disowned by his family and is set to receive an inheritance from his father. He is also one of the rebels. Richard goes by the nickname "The Devil’s Disciple", which he is happy to use to annoy his family. However, as is the case with wars and crisis Richard finds he can make a selfless act rather than a selfish one as an actual disciple of the Devil would. The minister, Pastor Anderson, for whom Richard is making a sacrifice, finds that he is more a man of action than a minister.

Performances will take place in the North Church, Mill Street Perth from 11-13th May. All performances will start at 7.30pm. Tickets can be obtained from Concorde Music, Scott Street, Perth; Giraffe Cafe, South Street, Perth; and on-line at TicketSource.

Call for Actors - 12/02/2017

Our next production is Bernard Shaws' "The Devils Disciple". We are looking for 2 male actors to fill the following roles:

Pastor Anderson - Playing age 50ish, slim to average build, he is a pious pastor and an underground militia leader.
Major Swindon - Playing age 35-50, Pragmatic man and a stickler for the rules.

It's a great play and if you feel you can play either of the parts please message us. We rehearse on a Tuesday night, we will be adding an extra evening and occasional Saturday so we need you to be committed. Performances are 20-22 April.

We are a friendly bunch and would welcome you with open arms. We do have a lot of laughs along the way.

Future Production(s) - 02/02/2017

Perth Drama Club are looking for a production for August/September. Everyone is invited to come along and make a 10 minute pitch on Tuesday 14 February at 6.30pm for a play you would like put on. What you will need is a play (obviously), someone to direct it, a brief synopsis and an idea about what the set will require and a rough idea of props and costumes. It is also a good idea to make sure the characters fit your actor pool. We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your ideas. Good Luck!

Read-Through for next production - 18/01/2017

World Premiere - Cat and Mouse (Ajay Close) - 12/09/2016

Tickets are now on sale for the world premiere of "Cat and Mouse" by Ajay Close. October 19-22 @ 7.30pm at Goodlyburn Theatre, Perth.

It is the Summer of 1914 and four women are jailed in Perth Prison for political violence. They hunger strike. The government orders force feeding.

Arabella Scott tried to burn down Kelso Racecourse and she is now under the ‘care' of Dr Hugh Ferguson Watson. Morning and evening, he arrives to put her through the brutal procedure of forcible feeding. Between times he returns, dismissing the prison warders, so that he and Arabella can talk. He sees them as doctor and patient, she as torturer and victim. As the isolation takes hold they become confidantes in an uneasy and intriguing relationship.

In this World Premiere of "Cat and Mouse” by Ajay Close, the brutality and incompetence of the establishment are exposed, alongside the unflinching bravery of the suffragettes who defied the authorities to win the right to vote.

Tickets are available from Concorde Music, Scott Street, Perth; Giraffe, South Street, Perth; and TicketSource.

After Thursday's performance (20/10/2016), play author Ajay Close will be giving a talk on Cat and Mouse - the inspiration, local history, characters and locations.

This Tuesday (26/05/2015) I am going to show you the rudiments of juggling. All that is required is to bring three objects of about the same size and weight. Juggling balls are best. Bouncy balls will keep you fit!! Juggling is good exercise.

And if you have a skill you could share, bring it along. Let me know if folks need to bring anything special.

See you Tuesday.

Eileen

AGM 2015 - 20/05/2015

Perth Drama Club held their AGM last night, 19th May 2015.

Prior to the AGM an EGM was convened in order to discuss changes to the Club's Constitution. Discussion were full and frank, but the changes were passed unanimously.

AGM started with a lovely speech from outgoing Club President Carolyn Duffin, and this was well received by all. This was followed by a discussion of the Accounts, presided over by outgoing Club Treasurer Eileen Munro. Woo hoo - it seems we made a small profit this year. Needless to say, the Accounts were adopted.

Then onto the important part - the voting in of the new Committee / Trustees. The results were as follows:

President - Max Clay
Vice President - Martin Nickolls
Secretary - Betty Little
Treasurer - Elizabeth Cameron

Ordinary Members - Carolyn Duffin (ex officio) / John Johnson / Alan Willis / Helen Mitchell / Stephen Clay / Susan Corbett / Christine Aston

Subscription rates were left at the current rate.

No other business was discussed and the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:50pm.

Update - 20/05/2015

Perth Drama Club made it through to the second round. However, we were unable to progress beyond that point. We were happy that we'd progressed that far, farther than we have been in some time.

Since then Perth Drama CLub have also attended the Killin Komedy Festival 2015 where we presented 3 shorts items. All three items were well received.

We're through - 02/03/2015

Congratulations to the three teams from Perth Drama Club who took part in the SCDA One Act Play Festival at the Birnam Institute this past week. "Little Box of Oblivion" won the award for best set and "Playing with Daisy" gained third place and goes through to the next round. Well done to all and thanks to all who took part, both the actors and the backstage crew.

Seasons Greetings - 27/12/2014

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that you'll have a Happy New Year.

We hope to see you all on the 6th January when Perth Drama Club resumes rehearsals for the SCDA One Act Play Festival 2015.

This Tuesday (16/12/2014) Perth Drama Club will be reading a Panto (on yes we are), accompanied by bring-and-share festive nibbles and drink.

So please come along, with something to nibble and something to drink, ready to have an end-of-year laugh.

If you are planning to come please contact us via Facebook or the Contact page on this site just so that we know there there'll be sufficient people for the characters in the Panto (there are loads of parts so pretty much everyone who wants to read should be able to).

Hope to see you on Tuesday.

Our next productions - 09/11/2014

Perth Drama Club are currently in the process of deciding on our next productions. Plays have been read, discussed and decided upon.

Please keep your eyes peeled.

Previous Events

Perth Drama Club took their production of "Last Tango in Little Dunkeld" to the Killin Komedy Festival at the start of May 2014. We had a brilliant time and the audience seemed to enjoy themselves. The other people taking part also put on stellar performances.

We performed "Bouncers" and "Shakers" at the beginning of November 2013, at Ad-Lib Theatre Arts in Perth. This raised just under £500 (after expenses). A great many thanks to those who came along to the shows and made them the success they were.

Many many thanks to the people of the Fair City of Perth. Thanks to you we raised the very welcome sum of nearly £250 during the Round Table 2013 charity event. This will be put towards our "Raise the Roof" fund, a project to refurbish our club rooms.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Perth Drama Club 'B' for coming 3rd in the 2013 SCDA area competion at the Birnam Institute with 'The Witches of Prestwick.' Also to the 'A' team who came 5th with Alan Aykbourn's 'A Cut in the Rates'

'A Cut in the Rates' was performed again at Killin Drama Club's Comedy Play Festival on the 11th May 2013.////
