Upcoming Player's Events

WHAT: Auditions for Single Bride, directed by Zoë Chandler
WHEN: Sunday 29 January, 2pm to 6pm
 WHERE: FINNBRIT, Fredrikinkatu 20 A, Helsinki (Map)

Our spring production will be the new comedy Single Bride.

Scarlett is tired of waiting for her partner to propose, so she decides to organise a single wedding. But her plans go wrong from the outset, as she accidentally ends up with her boring, bossy colleague as bridesmaid.

Scarlett’s mother isn’t coping well with life after her husband’s stroke, so she reacts the only way she knows how: by trying to ruin and upstage her daughter’s plans. Scarlett’s partner wants nothing to do with any of this nonsense, but ends up being dragged out on a surprise stag night by Scarlett’s mollycoddled brother.

We follow their stories through the disastrous stag and hen nights, and on to the wedding ceremony itself.

There are fun major roles for both women and men, plus a couple of more minor parts.

There will be seven performances during the period 17–28 April 2012. A detailed rehearsal schedule will be drawn up after casting. Rehearsals will mainly be on weekend afternoons, starting 4 or 5 February.

In view of the tight schedule, it would helpful to know if you’re intending to audition, although it’s quite okay to simply show up on the day. ALL REPLIES TO ZOË (zoe@finnbritplayers.com).

If you’d like to be involved backstage – or would like to audition, but cannot attend the auditions – please do contact Zoë.

Please be ON TIME for the auditions!

Next spring’s production is in jeopardy

We have Tunturikadun vieräilunäyttömö (previously Puoli.Q) booked from the 17th-29th April, but no firm proposal for a main spring production. If we still have nothing by the AGM, we may have to cancel the spring production, which would be a great shame following our 30th anniversary year.

If you have an idea (that you are willing to direct), then please contact the committee ASAP. We have people willing to help bring your vision to life, but need to have proposals by the 15th January, with an approval and auditions held before the AGM on the 28th January.

So, now is the time to ask not what the Players can do for you, but what you can do for the Players!

WHAT: The Finn-Brit Players’ AGM with FREE DRINKS and snacks
WHEN: Saturday 28th January, 2012 at 4pm
WHERE: FINNBRIT, Fredrikinkatu 20 A, Helsinki (MAP)

Dear Players,

You are invited to the Finn-Brit Players’ Annual General Meeting on 28 January 2012, at 4 pm

Now, with the year coming to an end, it is time for the Finn-Brit Players’ membership to convene for the most important Players’ event: the AGM, where the future of the association is decided: membership fees are set, a new committee is elected, the old one evaluated and the new budget adopted. This year, we will continue last year’s successful format for the AGM: food, FREE DRINKS (alcoholic and soft!) and entertainment will be served!

You can download the agenda for the 2012 AGM here. Please come along and have your say. The society belongs to its members, and this is the best chance to voice your opinions – an active society needs active members. In recent years there have been fewer and fewer people volunteering for the committee, and activities have been cut back. We need people to give up a bit of their time and help out. If you too would like the society to be even more active and even better, then please run for committee! Fill in this form, have your nomination signed by two other members of the Finn-Brit Players, and return it to a committee member before the AGM begins.

Members for 2011 are eligible to vote at the meeting, after which annual subscriptions for 2012 will be due. The membership fee will be decided at the meeting. Please note that new members may not be registered for a period of two weeks before the date of the AGM. See you on 28 January!
