www.bebo.com/TheatreGuildG

Wanna be our friend??

Thanks Ian

anyone else getting excited?!
I was really pleased after yesterday, I feel like I can actually start
having some fun!! 'Focused' fun - of course!!
This is going to be an awesome show!

Yup, pretty much bubbling with excitement here. I'm looking forward to
getting into the theatre tomorrow. That will be a huge boost to polishing
the show as we can sort out spacing early!! Hats off to the Committee for
producing that wee bonus!!

After collecting those fabulous costumes last night I think we have to
celebrate in some way!! How about we take pictures of ourselves in the
cotumes at home and load the photos onto our Bebo / Facebook sites?
Remember to advertise the show dates and venue on your Bebo / Facebook
site!!

You can post a link to your site in the chat below!!

Who will be the first!?!

You know you're at the Copacabana when you are in Tesco... you lift a
carton of Tropicana orange (with bits) and you realise that this is the
largest juice in all the world and it's all grown outdoors and you laugh
maniacally knowing that it's yours...all yours!!!!!!

Hello, just incase I didn't get chance to speak to everyone last night, I
just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the show. You all looked to
be having a ball. I was struggling to stay seated through the dance
numbers! (although standing would have been very dangerous seen as though I
had not been issued with a parachute!). Hope the rest of the run goes well.
Maybe i'll see some of you for 42nd Street?

You know you were at the Copcabana when you respond (in your head) to a
dull conversation with "muchos, muchos" and various other Spanish phrases
that make no sense! And it seems perfectly ok to cry out "Ay, Ay, Ay" in
the middle of the day.
And you start to think those massive earrings that hit your shoulders are
actually quite nice... they would go really well with my aftershow party
dress...That red lippy's not too bad either...

You know you were at the Copacabana when Bobby tells you that you really
suit that green Tropicana dress that looks like your grannies nightie, and
that you work the "granny dress" well!

Plea to all you guys anyone available to help Minerva with their production
of ''ANNIE'' all ages welcome.

I have some pics on my bebo page - only Copa girls at the moment - finding
it difficult to get time to see the rest of you let alone take pics!! will
try to get round everyone over next couple of days

the show / beginning of act 2, because "they caaaaaan't staaaaart

It was one of those weeks where 'something special' happened.
Theatre Guild would like to thank every single person who had a hand in
making this week and all those rehearsal weeks such a success. Each one of
you had an important part to play in the big family that is Theatre Guild.
It really is very pleasing when people come from various places and tell us
that they feel welcomed and that their talents are appreciated. It's who we
are! Thank you for all those kind words.
Remember that we are together on Tuesday at the usual place to settle our
accounts, as our bills will be coming in 'thick and fast'.
Once again, in a 'dahling' type fashion...'We love you!!!!'

A message from the Vice Chairman and Production Secretary of Sunderland
AOS:

"I would just like to pass on our congratulations on your recent production
of Copacabana. As you know we are staging Copacabana in January. What can I
say? We were bowled over. The feedback received from everyone has been
excellent.

Everyone connected with ‘Copa’ has clearly worked extremely hard, this
showed in the precision of direction, design and application. It was also
shown in the cast’s acting, singing and dancing, they were of the highest
standard. Well done!!" Jason Waldock

"I would Just like to pass on my congratulations to you and the cast for a
wonderful evening. I really enjoyed the show. The Costumes were
spectacular along with the set, music and enthusiasm of the cast. The Cast
members that came to see it were buzzing at the thought of doing the show
now they have seen it on stage." Brian Leach

29. you know that black is the new black.
30. you helped Colin to raise an extra £110 for the Yorkhill Children's
Foundation, Yay!
31. you stop yourself when singing in the car and check in the rear view
mirror to see if your mouth is the right shape.
32. you still really want Jim Munro's shirt.

33. One week on you are still having claustrophobic nightmares involving
feathers.
34. People are asking at work where the Eastwood Theatre is.
35. You wonder if a tempo induced hyterectomy is a medical possibility?
36. You still respect the Manilow.
37. In fact, you resolve to 'make it through the rain' to see 'Cant smile
without you' at the Kings in a couple of weeks.

38. Your arm is still black and blue from Judee's jabbing finger
39. You can't order a chinese meal without explaining afterwards "That's
assault and robbery, narcotics and...kidnapping"
40. You have a secret urge to perform the Dancing Fool routine on your own
in your sitting room.
