The Blakehay Actors Company
The wide and universal theatre... All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players They have their exits and their entrances And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. - Shakespeare (1564-1616) As You Like It,II.7.137The Blakehay Actors Company was formed in 2006. From the start it was decided to aim for the highest standard possible. Actors were recruited locally and auditioned. It turned out that Weston has a wealth of acting talent and the Actors Co were fortunate to recruit several and the original company comprised of Frances Iles, Rebecca Fuller, Robert Iles, Peter Nicholls, Pauline Colsey, Jennifer Hart, Pete Nicholls, Conrad Collinge, Laura James, John Edgar.
The companies first production, Comfort and Joy by Mike Harding was an ambitious choice and it was decided to hire professional director Keith Myers.
Several productions later the Blakehay Actors Company have settled into a routine of two major productions per year and several bye monthly short play evenings. These midweek (usually Wednesday and Thursday) productions are far ranging from Pinter to local writing talent.
There is no doubt one of the reasons that the Actors Company has grown in popularity is the format, ticket prices include a wine and cheese supper and a chance to chat to the cast.
The Blakehay Actors Company is always on the look out for new talent and indeed new actors have joined the group as others have left. They are also on the look out for all sort of support both front of house and back stage.
If you have some acting experience and would like to join the Blakehay Actors Company Please contact Barbara Smith via email barbarak.smith@virgin.net or call on 01934 629641. Experienced back stage and technical crew members are always welcome.
