Gemco Players Community Theatre
Stepping Out
Season: September 8 – 23.
Set in London, the story follows the lives of the members of an amateur tap class. Each attending for their own reasons. This play is a wonderfully endearing tale of how determination, friendship and camaraderie can shape even the most bashful into proud performers.
Mavis, a professional dancer who didn’t quite make it past the chorus line, now runs her own class in the local village hall for anyone in the area. A mixed, and otherwise incompatible group of seven women and one man meet weekly for their tap-dancing class in a dingy London church hall. Each struggling to conquer their inhibitions or dance technique or both!
Then the day comes when Mavis breaks the news to the group that they have been invited to perform in front of an audience for a big charity concert. With varying degrees of talent and determination we see how each class member copes with the challenge… but with only a few weeks to learn an impressive tap routine, will they do it in time?
Eltham Little Theatre
Almost Maine
Where on one deeply cold and magical Midwinter Night, the citizens of – Almost – not organised enough for a town, too populated for a wilderness – experience life-altering powers of the human heat.
Eltham Little Theatre rose to the challenge of such a story producing a wonderful evening of theatre.
ELT and Director Marti Ibrahim chose to do the play in a series of 11 vignettes, each one with two or on occasion three performers. A cast of 13 players who each gave great performances. Although on occasion when some heads were turned off stage it was hard to hear the dialogue.
The setting was basic but effective. The lighting lived up to expectations with the Northern Lights done very effectively by the use of greenlighting which brought the impression of the Northern Lights to the theatre.
A well-directed play and with a touch of humour was well enjoyed by the opening night audience
