Different Together. Doncaster Little Theatre Ltd celebrates multiple approaches to performa

A Number
After being contacted by a hospital, a young man discovers he has been cloned. He seeks answers about what happened from his father. However, his father is more interested in an opportunity to sue the medical authorities and get rich. The truth slowly unravels leaving at least three lives in tatters. A gripping play about the value of the individual and the ethics of modern science.

Doncaster’s Celebration of City Status
Doncaster became Yorkshire’s newest city in 2022, winning a contest held to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. Join us for a fun evening of light-hearted chat and discussion, retelling the story of this historic campaign, and celebrating everything about Doncaster.
It will be heady a mix of history, heritage, and culture, recognising some of Doncaster’s greatest moments, as well as many lesser-known achievements. Where else would The Flying Scotsman, Paddington Bear, Ivanhoe, and Open all Hours feature on the same billing?
The evening is hosted by Jim Carley, author of “The Race for City Status: How Doncaster became one of Britain’s Newest Cities”. Our guest panel includes Dan Fell, Chief Executive of Doncaster Chamber and Chair of the City Status campaign; Lindsy James, Director of local charity Active Fusion and a World Duathlon Champion; and Chloe Wilburn, local businesswoman and winner of TV’s Big Brother in 2015.
Tickets are as cheap as chips at just £5.00 each, and 100% of all ticket sales will go to the Doncaster Little Theatre charity. The event run time is approximately 90 minutes.
Friday 25th October
7:30pm (Doors open 6:30pm)

Theatre History
We are Doncaster Little Theatre – the community theatre in the heart of Doncaster run by a family of friends who are passionate about putting on a shows.
---
In the 1930’s a group of local theatre enthusiasts – many of them friends and acquaintances from their respective churches, and, principally, Priory Methodist Church – decided to form an amateur dramatic group. They called themselves, “The Doncaster Literary Society”.
The ‘LIT’ used a number of venues in local church halls. Many of those productions were wonderfully staged and incredibly successful.
Despite the exigencies of the war years, the ‘LIT’ went from strength to strength and when the new Arts Centre (or Civic Centre as it was known) was opened, the ‘LIT’ was one of the first groups wanting to perform there offering an adventurous choice of plays throughout the post-war era.
