We are always interested in help - on or off stage.

We have managed to put on at least one production a year for over 10 years now and they've all turned out to be quite good (to our absolute amazement in some cases!) so we're very lucky now to have very supportive audiences and a lot of willing helpers in the village.

Unfortunately our core team is getting smaller (and older !) and it is becoming more of a struggle to put on major events, such as Pantos - not because there aren't enough offers of help but because we are one or two people short of the number we need in the core team to make it all happen.

Where we need most to fill a gap is on the production side - in the areas of set and stage construction and stage management.  What's needed are DIY skills, a pragmatic approach to practicality and safety considerations and a willingness to commit quite a bit of time and effort over a relatively short space of time - around two and a half weeks in January, say, for a Panto.

That's not to say we don't also welcome help in other production areas, in direction and in stage performance too. What's for sure is that if you want an involvement we can arrange it

If you'd like to find out more come to our next AGM (watch the website for details),
contact any committee members or e-mail our Secretary at secretary@shaddo.org.uk.

We'll do our very best to make you feel welcome.
