42nd Street is here now!

Our latest production, 42nd Street, opens on Tuesday 24th and runs until Saturday 28th November.

The show has been in rehearsal since July and after the months of hard work, we have a show that is worthy of all that effort.

Our new production team of David Kirk, Jacqui Drake-Sweiss and Sylvia Dowgill, have brought their own inimitable style to proceedings and with a very strong cast, superb musicians and a colourful set and costumes, prepare to witness what will be a stunning show. A true return to form for Bradford’s premier amateur theatre group.

The website team wishes all involved an enjoyable and successful week.

Unfortunately the website has been down recently.

The good news is that it is back up and running. A bit of detail has been lost and needs to be input again. That should be online again in the very near future.
