Charity Concert at the Bridgewater Hall
Sunday 25th March – 7:30pm
“That’s Entertainment”
Our plan had been to try again to do
‘Pyjama Game’ in the spring. However, due to lack of interest this had to be
cancelled.
Instead, KAOS has been invited to take
part in a Charity Concert, to be held at the Bridgwater Hall, Manchester. The
concert is in aid of St Ann’s Hospice. It will feature 6 Amateur Societies
singing songs from various shows. Each Society has 20 minutes to show what they
can do on the fantastic stage at the concert hall. Performing to a possible
audience of 1800 people, it will be one of the biggest shows KAOS has ever done.
Brenda Brown, who directed our last show,
has kindly offered to help us prepare a performance. She has taken a section
from the show we did last October, and arranged it for performance at the
Bridgewater Hall.

OTHER NEWS
AGM
It is
nearly AGM time again, notifications will be posted out soon. We need as many
members as possible to attend the AGM, because we are going to have to discuss
several important issues. This includes the future direction the Society should
take. We struggle at the moment to find ‘book shows’ that the Society can
cast. This leaves us with very few choices. We all need to discuss the situation
and look to the future.
Our Weakest Link !
Well done to Jenny Grossett. She recently
starred in the BBC 2 Quiz show -
‘The Weakest Link’. Not only
did she take part, but she won as well.
We
didn’t know you were so clever – Jenny !
only joking.
Well done.
