SEE YOU AT ROXETH ??

Belmont Theatre Company are great believers in going out and meet people to tell them about our hobby. This year we are participating in at least 5 local fairs, setting up our display stand , armed with leaflets and a friendly smile, and then set about letting people know all about our shows, how they can be in the audience or even better still, become a member or patron.

On July 12th and 13th we will be at the successful and popular “ROXE£TH SHOW” and we certainly look forward to seeing you there. We will be sporting our new red gazebo and lets pray the weather is great.

The venue is South Recreation Ground, near to South Harrow Station, you’ll see all the notices and crowds.

Look forward to seeing you over that weekend

If you've ever wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes in putting on a theatre show, you can find out by coming along to Belmont Theatre's  Open Day event this Sunday 25th May at The Pump House Theatre, Watford , WD17 2JP. 
Arrive anytime between 11am and 3pm and we'll show you how we build the set on which the actors perform, arrange the sound and light and organise the production and backstage activities that are key to experience the audience receives when coming to the theatre.
It's free, we provide tea/coffee etc and a tour every hour on the hour. Why not bring the family - it's undercover and they are sure to learn something interesting.
Call 07917 324179 to book, or just turn up and we will welcome you.

It was great to meet so many Festival-goers at the Rickmansworth Festival over the weekend. A wonderful chance to promote our Pump House double-header next week of Real Inspector Hound and The Lamp and also our Pump House open day this Sunday 25th May our upcoming show next week. We're doing it again soon at the Radlett Festival, Roxeth Festival and the Carters Steam Fair in Croxley Green and you can see us perform at Watford Live on 14th June at the pond performance area.   Busy or what?

A few intrepid Belmont members braved the searing heat to promote the group at the recent Roxeth Fair in South Harrow. A bit of a change from last year when we were paddling around!!!!

There was a lot of interest in our colourful stall, we were busy most of the 2 days chatting people up and there were quite a few punters there. We re-engaged with people who had known us as Belmont Players all those years ago and now know we are still going strong. We convinced quite a few people that Watford is not the other side of the moon and took quite a few names for the mailing list.

Looking forward to doing more of these fairs where we can really engage with public and let them know about the benefits that our hobby brings.

Our display this morning (Saturday) before the public were let in.
It was great to meet so many people in the Environmentalmarquee today and to see so many volunteers from Belmont Theatre pitching in to help in promoting the Society. We are there tomorrow (Sunday) as well.
As predicted, the Saturday Matinee for The Hollow today officially sold out but we still have seats for other performances.
