Many brains at work

And after some very technical score keeping – the result proved to be a draw.

No tie breaks here! – both winners were awarded a bottle of champagne each

The TATS 2022 AGM, took place on Monday 5th December, 730pm in Turvey Village Hall.

Over 30 people attended (including most of the Oklahoma newcomers), and we even needed a vote as there were so many volunteers to the Committee.

The formal elements were then followed with a very enjoyable social event including mulled wine and mince pies.

We even signed up some new members.

A great success and here’s to 2023.

OKLAHOMA
November 2022

Tickets being sold out weeks before the first performance give some idea of the audience anticipation for this show and they weren’t disappointed!

Superbly directed by Jan Clemens and brilliantly acted by a large cast, many new to the TATS stage, the audiences were enthralled by the set and high standards of both acting and singing, fabulously supported by the live band and professional sound and lighting.

As usual there are also many unsung heroes behind the scenes of these productions so a massive thank you from all at TATS for all help received to enable this show to be a great success.

What were you doing in Millennium year 2000?

Well just like 2022, TATS staged OKLAHOMA.

Congratulations to all our successful cast.
