WHILE summer typically brings thoughts of beaches and barbecues, the ADAPT Theatre Group is already turning its attention to the festive pantomime season. As temperatures soar, the group is quietly preparing to kick off rehearsals at the end of August.
Reflecting on the Impact of Amateur Dramatics: ADAPT Members Share Their Stories
For many members of ADAPT, the summer serves as a time for introspection about the impact of their involvement in amateur dramatics.
Jan’s Journey: From Newcomer to Resident Baddie
Jan, known for her role as the resident ‘baddie,’ reflects on her journey: ‘Discovering amateur dramatics has been a life-changer for me. I have a hobby that I love, I have made so many good friendships my biggest regret is that I should have started AmDram in my 20s.’
Gill’s Pantomime Magic: Feeling Young Again Through Theatre
Gill, who has taken on roles such as Peter Pan and Geppetto, echoes Jan’s sentiments: ‘I may have needed help getting ‘over the hill,’ but being in panto makes me 30 years old all over again!’
Enid s Lifesaver: The Healing Power of Theatre After Loss
Enid, a founding member of the group and a seasoned performer in roles like the Blue Fairy and Wendy, shares her personal connection to the theatre: ‘A new interest and new friends. A lifesaver for me when my husband died. Forever grateful.’
Community Engagement: ADAPT’s Bilingual Pantomime and Local Performances
In addition to their much-anticipated annual bilingual pantomime, ADAPT Theatre Group has engaged with the local community through shorter plays for the Official Language School in San Javier. A recent production, ‘The Audition,’ was well-received and highlighted the group’s versatility and dedication.
