Come along and join us…

You can see from the photos from our last show, Let Me Entertain You, we have a lot of fun at WMTS.

Now we are rehearsing for our summer production of ‘Anything Goes’, which will take place at The Tivoli Theatre, 25 – 29 June, and this classic Cole Porter musical comedy, set on an ocean liner, has a great script and some of musical theatre’s most memorable standards, such as “I Get a Kick out of You,” “You’re the Top,” and of course, “Anything Goes.”

We are still looking for more members to support us in this latest show. We need men and women – of any age – to join the passenger chorus; and we need some men, who ideally can dance to be in our sailor chorus; and we still have some supporting roles to fill.

If you are a budding musical theatre performer, or perhaps you’ve always fancied being part of a stage show, then why not join us – Wimborne’s very own award winning local amateur musical group. Ring Sylvia on 01202 659425 or email her for more information.

Photographs from “Let Me Entertain You”

On Saturday 1st December 2012, the Society performed “Let Me Entertain You”, a concert of songs, many from the musicals – theatre and film, comedy clips and some great dance numbers. Great fun was had by all and if the applause was anything to go by our audiences really enjoyed the show too.

A DVD of the show is now available and we had have some great photographs of the show taken. Here’s a selection (click to enlarge), but for more please take a look at our ‘Our Photos‘ page.
