Screen Scenes

Rehearsals have now started for our August production - Screen Scenes, a musical revue showcasing the wonderful talent in our local community.

Last year's sell out Dreams Are Free was cut short due to a Covid lockdown (remember those?), thus disappointing audiences and performers alike. That's why we chose to do another revue show, to give us another chance to show that Clutha really does have talent!

Look out on our Facebook page and on this site for ticket sales and to keep up with how the show is progressing.

We're very proud of Kellie Post and Brent Gardner who picked up OSTAs for Best Leading Male and Best Leading Female for their performances in I'll Be Back Before Midnight by Peter Colley.

Well done everyone involved in the production, and congratulations Kellie and Brent!
