80s favourite to be performed
A MODERN day take on 80s favourite Fame will be performed by the Loscoe based Gatepost Theatre Company this month.
Fame Forever will be performed from March 10 until March 13 at the Guildhall Theatre in Derby.
Director Jim Baker, said: "The play shows the girls coming back 20 years laters, so they are 38, not 18. They are all former students of the New York High School of Performing Arts."
Lead characters in the show, which sees a school reunion joins the characters together, includes Brittany Melly as Carmen, Sarah Knight as Vanessa Vegas, Luke Mee as Michael Peters, Josie Harris as Greta Bell, Judith Cliff as Serena Katz and Rebecca Knight as Georgia Washington.
The show also sees the ghost of Carmen Diaz return to the school to discover why she never graduated with her class.
The Gatepost Theatre Company perform two shows a year and currently has 22 members. It formed in 2004 and had since performed 14 shows over five years.
It is an amateur theatre company specialising in dance, drama and singing. Its members are aged from 15 upwards and budding actors are welcome to join. The group meet every Thursday evening at 7.30p.m. at the Loscoe Evergreen Centre, Loscoe, Derbyshire.
The company was formed by Kate and Jim Baker who have been involved with music direction and production for many years.
Kate was once head of performing arts at Heanor Gate School where she also taught music, and was renowned for her musical productions both at school and with many local operatic societies. She was awarded an M.B.E. in November 2004 for her services to musical education.
Jim Baker also taught at Heanor Gate School and was later deputy headmaster. Jim is a keen guitarist and used to play regularly in two bands. While at school he organised and played in end-of-term Christmas rock concerts. Since the retirement of both Kate and Jim, they formed The Gatepost Theatre Company which is going from strength to strength.
Tickets for Fame Forever are 8, or 6 for concessions. For tickets call the box office on 01332 255800.
