'Stagers' Groups

HTC has three youth groups, Young Stagers, Centre Stagers, and Up Stagers. All three have proved very popular, providing regular meetings, workshops, and instruction in all aspects of the theatre, including acting, lighting, sound, dance, and other essential skills. Members of the youth groups frequently go on to become full members, and are occasionally asked to appear in main company plays when these demand younger actors--including the annual pantomime.

There is usually a waiting list for places in all three groups, but for more information about joining feel free to contact Wendy or Sheena or the chairman.

Mort

Friday 8th and Saturday 9th April at 7.30pm at The Lion Theatre, Horncastle

Centre Stagers is proud to present Stephen Briggs' adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Mort, directed by Wendy Ireland

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job.

But when Mort is left in charge for an evening, he allows his heart to rule his head and soon the whole of causality and the future of the Discworld itself, are at risk. Along the way, Mort encounters not only Death’s adopted daughter, Ysabell – who has been 16 for 35 years – and his mysterious manservant Albert – whose cooking can harden an artery at ten paces – but also an incompetent wizard with a talking doorknocker and a beautiful, but rather bad-tempered and dead, princess. He also, of course, meets Death.

Hansel & Gretel

Thursday June 30th, Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd July at 7.30pm at The Lion Theatre, Horncastle

Young Stagers is proud to present Hansel and Gretel, written by David Ireland and directed by Sheena Liversidge

Forced by his wicked wife, a poor woodcutter leaves his beloved son and daughter (Hansel and Gretel) alone in the forest. A sinister stranger kidnaps the children of Horncastle. Deep in the woods lies a magic candy cottage, covered in chocolate, sweets and countless delicious treats. However, unfortunately for Hansel, Gretel and the other children within its gingerbread walls lurks a wicked witch! Where’s a Fairy Godmother when you need one? Can Hansel and Gretel escape the witch’s clutches?

Find out in this imaginative and exceedingly entertaining version of the classic fairy tale. A host of memorable characters and toe-tapping tunes await you - so don’t miss the chance to see this wonderful family show. Judging by previous sell-out productions demand for tickets is sure to be high!
