Happy Schedule Day!
As promised, here is the latest West Side Story rehearsal schedule for March through to May. There may still be some changes to this schedule as our creative team's availability varies, but you'll be the first to know!

In other news, photos from the very successful lawn bowling (and subsequent unscheduled ten pin bowling) from Friday night are now online. There's some wonderful shots of West Side Story's social coordinator leading the way with the shennanigans. From all reports, a good time was had, and we look forward to the next social event for our Jets and Sharks.

Get The Rissoles Ready, Love
And scoop the icecream out of the punnet, because we have a surprise worth celebrating about.

STAG is proud to announce that we will be bringing to life a stage adaptation of the Aussie cult hit movie, "The Castle" in September 2005.

We can tell you that "The Castle" will be directed by Di Dickinson and more inside information about the show will follow here soon.

So for now all you need to do is study the ancient art of greyhound racing, learn how to tell a Torana from a Cortina and keep your eyes on stagtheatre.com.

Just A Quick Question...
What do you think STAG should perform for their 2006 musical production?

Don't answer all at once...just try our Show Survey, (look to your right). What you need to do is tell us which musical would like to see us perform. There's some pretty tough choices, so choose wisely.

You can choose from:

  • Assassins
  • Ballroom
  • Company
  • Funny Girl
  • Hot Mikado
  • Jekyll & Hyde
  • Les Miserables
  • Pippin

Go nuts.

WSS February Rehearsal Schedule
As promised, here is the rehearsal schedule for February for West Side Story.

Please make sure that where possible you're at least 10 minutes early for rehearsals, which will give you plenty of time to get yourself together, have a coffee, turn your mobile phone off, etc.

The rehearsals are due to START at the times indicated, and if everyone waits until then to arrive, they'll end up 15 or 20 minutes late starting!
