Key Activities

For many years Coleshill had a very active Drama Group, producing two plays a year that were well supported by the village, which especially enjoyed Pantomimes or Dinner Comedies. Unfortunately, towards the end of the nineties, we lost our storage for costumes; our facilities for easy storage of props and scenery and some of our key members. The remaining members occaisonally met for play readings and have put on an enjoyable murder/mystery dinner play, which required no scenery.

We will be having occasional play readings, held in each others homes, during the year and this is a good way to meet people, without having to commit to being in a production. Out of these, we hope to find a play which could be put on in the hall.

Events
