News from our December 2009 newsletter From the Chairman's Dressing Room ... Firstly I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone connected with Letchworth Arcadians for your hard work and dedication to the Society. Looking back over the past year I'm sure you will agree "The Wizard Of Oz" "Kiss me, Kate" and "Carousel" were all received very well by our audiences and everyone involved should feel very proud of their achievements. As we begin 2010 our future programme looks very exciting starting in February with Young Arcadians production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie". Set in the roaring twenties this show has some wonderful music and a strong cast of our up and coming "Stars" of the future. April sees the return of Linda Dyne Directing with Graham Albone as Musical Director for the Gershwins' "Crazy For You" again some fantastic music and a show that we have not performed before. Then in November we return to Paris for Franz Lehar’s "The Merry Widow". I'm sure you will agree we have something for everyone next year either performing on stage, supporting offstage or being part of our audience. Best Wishes, David Walker, Chairman New Members Congratulations and welcome to the following who have all successfully auditioned for Senior Arcadians since the last newsletter. Francesca Ashcroft, Graeme Bussey, Toni Deane, Jamie Ellis-Shelvey, James Hayward, Stephen Loriot, Debbie McCreath, Kirsty McQue, Laura Pepper, Emma Poleszuk, Cathal Prendergast, Carl Rutherford, Mark Saunders, Jonathan Underwood and Sarah Wingfield.
