Drama date with young actors

Apr 24 2008

BLUE Pebble Theatre Company return to Cardinal Newman High School in Bellshill this month with their new production of “Three More Sleepless Nights.”

The company is made up of five young acting graduates and formed in Glasgow in 2006.

Over the past two years, Blue Pebble have performed to thousands of people across Scotland in many different venues.

They had a sell-out run of “Stags and Hens” at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe, and provided the Christmas entertainment at M&D’s theme park with their highly successful interactive storytelling experience.

Now the company are in rehearsal for their new production, which they hope will be just as big a hit as last year’s Showcase.

Director Torya Williams said: “The first act of this show will be a mix of scenes and songs, comedy and drama — there should be something for everyone.

“The second act is a short play, exploring the dysfunctional relationships of two couples, where you might be in for a few unexpected surprises.”

There will also be a raffle, with the proceeds going towards the company’s national tour in the summer.

The show will be in Bellshill for one night only on Friday, May 2, with the curtain up at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £5, and can be reserved by calling Natali on 07912 078706 or e-mailing the_theatre_project@hotmail.co.uk
