What’s been on (or not) in 2023
So the curtain comes down on another fabulous TATS Musical.
Me and My girl delighted sell out audiences from 22nd November to 25th November and showed once again what a talented group of actors, directors and support team TATS Possess.
Many thanks to all involved and especially Director Jan Clemens and assistant Michelle Swales for bringing such fun and professionalism to the amateur stage here in Turvey.

The show is now cast (well almost!) and huge congratulations to the following successful actors:
AUDITIONS Held: Turvey Village Hall

READ-THROUGHS Held: Turvey Village Hall

Following her sell-out 2022 production of OKLAHOMA!, TATS is delighted to announce that our very own major musical genius Jan Clemens will be back to direct another blockbuster show in November.
Me and My Girl revolves around an unapologetically unrefined cockney gentleman named Bill, who learns that he is 14th heir to the Earl of Hareford – however, he will only receive the inheritance if Sir John and the Duchess approve of him.
The Duchess feels that, with a little grooming, Bill will be suitable to inherit the title – and the money! However, she insists that Bill breaks up with his cockney girlfriend, Sally, but Bill refuses to accept the title if he cannot keep Sally as ‘his’ girl.
And what a fabulous show it was, such a talented cast and a fantastic back stage and lighting and sound team – You’re all brilliant !
Thank you to everybody who supported our show and came along and for the kind donation of raffle prizes and our lovely painting that is now with its new owners.
thank you to everybody who bought raffle tickets, for those of you that helped behind the scenes and with front of house and the bar and huge thanks to our excellent sound and lighting crew – the show was a huge success !
