We had a great day at the May Day procession. We hope you gave us a big wave and enjoyed meeting Sandy 🐕 who is getting ready for our next big show- Annie Jr.

And the total is in! We made a whopping £1000 at our recent charity night. A massive well done and thanks to all involved!
This money will be shared between Andys Man Club and CGCC Covid-19 Volunteer Workforce Food Bank.
Thanks to all who attended and supported.

🎭 And that’s a wrap! 🎭
With record breaking audiences, amazing special effects and a cast and crew that can only be beaten in the West End, we have had an absolutely mind-blowing week!

Our Priory Players Youth section enjoyed a wonderfull party night filled with Pizza, Bowling and laughter @ Xscape J32. A huge thanks to Gill, Sue and James for giving up their evening too!

Following the Government advice around the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is with great sadness and regret that Priory Players are having to postpone their next two productions. The play, 'Kindly Leave the Stage' and the musical 'The Sound of Music' are now on hold and we hope to perform these next year.

We would like to thank everyone for all their hard work on these productions to date and for your continued support. Our priority is to ensure we keep everyone safe and we look forward to seeing everyone safe and well at our Pantomime in January 2021.

Take care and look after each other.

Jack and the Beanstalk, directed by Gillian Shelton, had everything the packed audience wanted: action, laughs, terrific dancing, beautiful singing, more laughs, great costumes, a happy ending, oh – and more laughs."
