Ladies of Spirit - A Comedy by Georgina Reid
Heartsease Lane Methodist Church - May 9th, 10th, 11th 2019 - 7.30 p.m, Tickets : £ 8.00
Sef in the 1960s, Gibraltar School was founded as a school for young
ladies by the two dear old Misses Pye, now deceased. The long
suffering teachers now have their lives made miserable not only by
their pupils, but also by the present headmistress, Miss Rowe,
known universally as "Hard Rowe". Since Gibraltar is a private school,
they resign themselves to the fact that there is little they can do about
it, but they find help coming from a very unexpected quarter indeed. . "

River Green WW1 Memorial Garden July 2018
On Saturday July 21st Thorpe Players were involved at the Council's invitation in the opening of the First World War Centenary Commemorative Garden, on River Green. Several members wore period costumes funded by Thorpe St Andrew Town Council to help add atmosphere to the event. Soldiers, elegant ladies in their finery and a couple of nurses could be seen wandering about engaging with members of the public and a great time was had by all involved. There was a real communal atmosphere where everyone came together and witnessed a short, moving service held by Father James followed by a short selection of poetry and aided by the Occasional Garden Singers choir who had also been singing earlier in the Parish Church during the Parish Church Summer fete…it was a busy day!
