REHEARSALS start for March and District Amateur Operatic Society’s next production A Hollywood Christmas next week.

Barbara Pepper is directing the festive show, which is set at a party in a New York penthouse in the 1950s. It will feature popular songs from the era as well as more traditional Christmas carols.

The production, which will run from December 12-15 with showings at 7.30pm and a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm, will be the first Christmas show performed by MADAOS.

Rehearsals start on Tuesday, from 7.30pm at March Community Centre, in Station Road.

Anyone interested in performing in the show, or helping with front of house or backstage duties, should contact Francis Pepper on 01354 656498 or attend the first rehearsal.
