Abingdon Operatic Society present Hello, Dolly! from 28th October to 1st November. The show tells the Story of Dolly Gallagher Levi, a marriage matchmaker from Yonkers, New York, who is dead set on making a match for herself, She has her eye on Horace Vandergelder, the well-known half millionaire, who really is no match for the determined matchmaker Dolly. It’s one of the funniest musical comedies you’ll ever see.

AmEgos' next production from October 30th to November 1st in Wantage is The Ladykillers. This classic black comedy, based on the 1955 Ealing comedy, revolves around a sweet little old lady, who is pitted against a gang of criminal misfits who will stop at nothing. Posing as amateur musicians, Professor Marcus and his gang rent rooms in the lopsided house of sweet but strict Mrs Wilberforce. The villains plot to involve her, unwittingly, in Marcus's brilliantly conceived heist job. The police are left stumped but Mrs Wilberforce becomes wise to their ruse and Marcus concludes that there is only one way to keep the old lady quiet. With only her parrot, General Gordon, to help her, Mrs Wilberforce is alone with five desperate men. But who will be forced to face the music?.

Faringdon Dramatic Society's next production is Over By Christmas from 6th to 8th November. Memories of the two World Wars in words and music. A variety show written by various authors. Celebrating the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, this production will be based around World War I and II, with modern day conflicts intertwined in it. There will be acting, singing, dancing, and stories to tell.

From 13th to 15th November The Compton Players present Ladies in Retirement. In a remote, lonely house on the marshes of the Thames estuary an ex-actress lives with her companion. A visit from the latter’s two eccentric sisters, who make themselves at home, precipitates events, compounded by the arrival of a mysterious nephew. The result is disappearance and suspicions of murder. This autumn The Compton Players revisit this classic production from our past, originally staged by us in 1973.

The Watermill's Christmas production is The Little Mermaid from 26th November to 4th January. This magical new Watermill production weaves together salty sea air, folk and sea shanty inspired songs, conjuring an ethereal world below the waves for this festive season.

Kingston Bagpuize Drama Group's panto from 27th to 29th November in Southmoor Village Hall is Jack and the Beanstalk. Our pantos are always a sell-out – and this year is no exception! The Saturday matinee is already completely sold out (oh yes, it is!). If you’re planning to bring the family along, especially little ones, we recommend booking ASAP – the early Saturday evening show is vanishing quickly too. And the best bit? A family of four can enjoy the whole evening for less than a single ticket at the Oxford Playhouse. Add in free parking, a licensed bar, plus teas, coffees and snacks, and you’ve got the perfect night out.

New Era Players' next production between 27th November and 6th December in Wash Common is Night Must Fall. Set in the imperious and embittered Mrs Bramson’s isolated house in the dark woods, this brooding drama explores the arrival of Dan into the lives of the occupants. Is he the father of Dora the maid’s unborn child? Is he responsible for a recent murder? Mrs Bramson is taken in by his charm, but her niece, Olivia, is sceptical yet fascinated. The tension rises as we wonder who the next victim could be.

New Era Players (Newbury) want backstage helpers.
