Aldermaston Players' next production from 21st February to 1st March is Showtime. An evening of songs and sketches reminiscent of the 1940s, the era of Glitz and Swing. Before you checkout there will be meal options to choose for any vegetarian, vegan and gluten free meal options.

Mortimer Dramatic Society's next production between 7th and 15th March is Always Listen To Your Nose. The body of Professor Julian Birch-Lawton has been found dead in the living room of his cottage in Shepford Underhill. Never fear though, as Inspector Grim is on the scene. This dinner-theatre production promises to be a sell-out, so grab your tickets quickly!

New Era Players' next production between 13th and 22nd March is Here Comes a Chopper by Eugène Ionesco, a comedy about a plague that sweeps through a town, forcing a lockdown situation. The action of the play portrays both anarchic humour and pathos with more than a hint of Monty Python in the absurdist humour and fantastical situations, making for a very entertaining watch.

Newbury YoungStars' next production from 28th to 29th March is Sister Act Jr, an uplifting musical comedy based on the hit film and Broadway show. When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a crime, she’s hidden in a convent – the last place she ever expected to be. Her bold spirit clashes with the strict Mother Superior, but soon Deloris brings her unique flair to the convent’s struggling choir, filling the community with joy and discovering the true power of sisterhood.

Freckle Productions are bringing The Baddies to life at Newbury Corn Exchange from 27th to 29th May. It's a wickedly hilarious adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s smash-hit story. Meet the very worst Baddies in the world! Don’t you dare to come too close to a witch, a troll and an ancient ghost! The Baddies love being bad. They roar, spook and cast wicked spells to try and scare a girl out of her wits… who will succeed? Or perhaps the girl is braver than they think… A laugh-out-loud riot for all the family.
