Kilter theatre

A good omen for Friday's Midsummer Celebration - found on the farm today!

It's going to be a beautiful evening of candles, traditions & bubbles.

There are still some tickets left - & precious few excuses for not being there. Pass it on.

Some lovely production photos from Lloyd Evans of Us at The Egg Theatre, Bath last month. Caroline directed the group but the show was built on the wit & courage of the Engage Elders group (with support from Beryl Billings Charitable Trust). The dancing & sequins alone merited the standing ovation!

Next week it will be sunny! And by Friday next week the nights will be drawing in! Yes! Time to get out and enjoy it while it lasts!

With guidance & direction by Caroline, 'Us' has been created by a wonderful group of actors & devisers, aged 65-83. All part of our work with the Engage Programme at Theatre Royal Bath.

There will be nostalgia. There will be humour. There will be a healthy dash of chaos.

The one & only showing is this Sunday:

Free LGBTQIA+ Writing Workshops for Young People. Just wanted to recommend this from our good friends at Theatre West:

Gluck is coming! Bristol based new writing company Theatre West is bringing a new play about 1930s non-binary artist Gluck to your neck of the woods and to celebrate, we’re running a free writing workshop for young people

Thelma Hulbert Gallery, Honiton
2 - 4pm Sat 13th April
Hestercombe House & Gardens, near Taunton
4 - 6pm Tues 16th April
Holburne Museum, Bath
3 - 5pm Mon 22nd April

If you’re 16 – 25 and identify as LGBTQIA+, come along and meet Brenda Callis, q***r writer of the play ‘Gluck’s Flowers’, and q***r performer and storyteller Tom Marshman, who will guide you through discussions and exercises to explore: Where are the people like me in history? How do I find them? Come and take a deep dive into q***r history and maybe write a bit of your own story.

Come along and have fun … be challenged … for Gluck’s sake!

All participants will receive a free ticket to see the production of Gluck’s Flowers. If transport is a problem let us know as we may be able to help.

Send us an email if you’re interested in coming along to [email protected]

Squirrel is coming home! 🐿

"Under the light of the sun, between the houses and the offices, and the rivers and the factories, Squirrel has buried their favourite acorn collection.

It’s easy to remember where; it’s under the third tree from the left.

Or was it the right? Oh hang on a minute…"

🪵 Created by our very own Caroline Garland with Kate Cross and Tim Bell, we are thrilled that Squirrel is returning to their home at the egg theatre this March - tickets are on sale HERE: https://www.theatreroyal.org.uk/events/squirrel/
