Save the date: Saturday 27th November, St Swithin’s Community Centre, Croft Street, Lincoln.
Twenty years ago in November we performed our first production: Spring and Port Wine at Croft Street Community Centre.
This year we will be returning to Croft Street 20 years to the day after opening night! We plan to celebrate our 20th anniversary with cheese and wine, a quiz, entertainment and a raffle.
The aim is to have fun and celebrate our achievements, and also to raise some much needed funds for Common Ground.
More information about how to book your ticket will be on this website soon! In the meantime, save the date in your diary!

We love auditions, we really do! So much so that we’re having another one on Wednesday 1st September.
We’re still looking for two female actors to join our cast for Ladies’ Day by Amanda Whittington, which will be performed at the Broadbent Theatre in Wickenby from Wednesday 25th to Saturday 28th May 2022.
The play is set in a fish packing factory in Hull and York Races so the main roles really could do with a Hull accent (we’ll have help with this!). The two parts available are as follows:
Jan, mid-forties
Linda, early to mid-twenties
If you’d like to audition come to St Mary Le Wigford Church, St Mary’s Street, Lincoln LN5 7AR (next to the railway station) at 7:30pm on Wednesday 1st September.
If you are unable to come but would like to be considered, please email su.toogood@ntlworld.com.

Having had to postpone our next production twice, Su Toogood will be directing Ladies’ Day by Amanda Whittington at the Broadbent Theatre in Wickenby from Wednesday 26th to Saturday 28th May 2022.
The comic play is set in a fish packing factory in Hull and at York Races in June 2005 so the main roles really require a Hull or Yorkshire accent.
The play was cast in 2019 and we started rehearsals, but sadly since the pandemic people’s plans have changed and we now need to recast two of the roles:
Jan, mid-forties
Linda, early to mid-twenties
Auditions will be held at St Mary Le Wigford Church hall, St Mary’s Street, Lincoln LN5 7AR from 7.30pm on Monday 19th and Wednesday 21st July. You can choose which audition to attend, or you can come to both if you’re really keen!
If you are unable to make the audition dates, or if you would like more information, please email su.toogood@ntlworld.com.
We hope to see you there!
