STAC news, Social

Just a quick note to inform you that there is a meeting of the “Play Reading Group” on both the 2nd and the 16th of February 2012 at 7.30 in the Studio.  These meetings are totally informal and are used to read plays,discuss them and see if they are suitable for consideration for future productions.They are also useful if members are nervous when reading excerpts for auditions etc.

As a member we value your thoughts and ideas,so,if you have never been to one before please do come along,we don’t bite.  And please bring any scripts or ideas of plays you may want the company to consider.

Tea and coffee and biccies will be supplied and we never go on any later that 9.15, when we adjourn to the pub

This is open to both members and non members.  Hope to see you there

“Barn Doors and Tickling Sticks” was well attended with over £600 going to each of the three charities which is a fantastic result. Many thanks to everyone who made the event possible as well as those who came along on the night to support them.

The following message was received from WAC shortly after the event:

To all at Swan Theatre Amateur Company

I would like to express my thanks for an excellent evening on Sunday. Howerd would certainly have enjoyed it. All those who played any part in it are to be congratulated for their performances, both on stage and back stage.

As Howerd’s successor as Chair of Worcestershire Association of Carers, I have a hard act to follow. Your generosity in offering a share of the proceeds to WAC is much appreciated, and I hope that the Association continues to receive widespread support.

With best wishes for your future success.

Personal, STAC news

Howerd’s funeral was held on 13th May at Crowle church. The church was so packed that extra chairs had to be brought in and congregation placed on choir stalls. Over twenty members/former members of STAC and Worcester Live staff were among those who came to celebrate the life of this lovely man.

Howerd’s family wish to thank everyone who sent messages of sympathy and condolence.

A website to raise funds for St Richard’s hospice where Howerd spent his last days has been set up here
