If you're a member of a Society rehearsing a Production which is not listed above, please e-mail the relevant details so that I may include you. That way each Society can, if they wish, avoid selecting a show to which another group is already committed. Likewise, if you would also declare your 'SASP' (Saturday Adult Seat Price), you will contribute to what is, in effect, a rolling consensus about the realities of seat pricing. If you wish to devise and submit a simple 'html' panel (table), I can insert it with a minimum of fuss.  (You could copy one from above and just edit your details into it, or, if you've appeared before, find your previous notice in my archive pages and we can start with that.) 
Caught in the act
of putting on my slap !

If you wish to keep me notified 'automatically' of your forthcoming production, I suggest you insert me into your Society's mailing list, at the following postal address, so that I receive a copy of your flyer ticket-order form, from which I can then create a panel on this page.  

Peter Best, c/o The Crescent Theatre, Sheepcote Street, Birmingham, B16 8AE.
