The society also won a "Highly Commended" Certificate for the same production.

Curtain Up!

Please Sir.. they want a new MD

WIMBORNE Musical Theatre Society has chosen Lionel Bart's classic musical version of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist for their 2005 show, to be performed next June at the Tivoli.

Now the company needs a new musical director for the show, ready for rehearsals which start in January and will be held on Thursdays at the Merley Community Centre.

With such a tuneful show full from start to finish of memorable hit songs,
it will be a challenging and satisfying way for the new MD to take up his or her baton.

If you are interested or wish to discuss this further, please telephone
01258 453904 or 01202 659425 or go along to a rehearsal and speak to the director.
