Here's a little about our two most recent shows....
Calamity Jane

"Calamity Jane"


Adapted by Ronald Hanmer and Phil Park
Music by Sammy Fain
Lyrics by Paul Francis Webster


( Tuesday 22nd to Saturday 26th April 2008. )


"Calamity Jane". needs little introduction. It's a real favourite, with some wonderful music guaranteed to get your feet tapping.

Who can sit still when Deadwood Stage comes to town or Windy City blows in. And what about those romantic melodies of Secret Love or Higher Than a Hawk. Then of course there's Black Hills of Dakota. All unforgettable

Katie Howes who plays gun-totin' heroine Calamity Jane is well known to Ponteland audiences, having wowed them in the past with many leading roles including Miss Hannigan in Annie and Bianca in Kiss Me Kate.

The part of Wild Bill Hickock is played by Rep newcomer Ian Byrne. Another new face, Helen Aspey, plays the part of stage-struck city-girl Katie Brown. Audiences who were lucky enough to catch 'Allo 'Allo might recognise a familiar face. David Bruce, who plays the dashing Lieutenant Danny Gilmartin, was a brilliant Captain Alberto Bertorelli.

This year for the first time, the musical is being directed by Jonathan Cash with musical direction by Deborah Barry. Jonathan has performed in many shows himself around the region, including numerous leads at the Theatre Royal. Most notably Fagin in Oliver and the title roll in Scrooge. Deborah too has played several leads.

Performers on stage and audiences must not forget that the back of house team really make the shows possible. Everyone from the folks who design and paint the wonderful sets to the ladies who make the tea, play an invaluable part in bringing live theatre to Ponteland. Please continue to support The Rep and if you'd like to join or help behind the scenes just let us know.
