OsKaRs – On Wednesday evening last the 24th of January all the budding actors met with Kevin Rowe from Kevin Rowe Events who will be running the show and putting our actors through their paces over the next 6 weeks. Kevin explained the process to all and showed some video clips of previous shows he filmed. This went down well and has got everyone excited. We will be filming 7 short scenes from well known popular films that will be shown on the night in The Glencarn Hotel on 7th April..
Club chairman Martin then explained everything regarding fundraising etc and answered any queries in this regard. Tickets will be on sale from the actors from early February.
Thanks to all who supplied refreshments on the night and especially George Wallace for providing the buns.
