| Standlake Jubilee fever is in the air! As the Queen's Diamond Jubilee approaches the Standlake Players have been busily preparing an evening of Jubilee entertainments. We will be working alongside the village Jubilee committee to help Standlake to celebrate 60 years of faithful service by Her Majesty. Keep an eye on the website to find the latest details about our performance nights and what we will have to offer Standlake in June! A mad old time in Standlake What was going on at Standlake Village hall in February to cause this effect?! Find out on our past shows page... Players make charitable donations We are very pleased to announce that during the month of November the Players committee have released funds for two charitable causes. Both donations of £100 are part of our ongoing support of good causes that have been put forward by our members. The two causes in question are as follows: 'The Baby Snow Fairy Fund'- a charity that raises funds for neonatal units for premature babies here in the UK. 'Standlake C of E Primary School' - this donation will go towards the development of drama at our local school, in the hope that we will both support and inspire the children, and perhaps even help to encourage the next generation of Standlake Players! To make a donation to either of these causes please feel free to explore their websites via the links above. Ten down...many more to go! This September we notched up our tenth production, not including fete shows, readings etc. This October marks our fourth anniversary and we're still loving every production we work on, but we wouldn't be doing this at all if it wasn't for the support of our audiences. So we'd like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone who keeps turning out to come and enjoy our shows, especially the Friends of Standlake Players. To become a Friend you don't need to pay anything, fill out a form, come to a minimum number of shows a year, in fact all you need to do is sign up to or mailing list. We'll then send you advanced warning and details of our next productions - but we promise to send less than ten emails a year! We are determined to continue creating memorable dinner theatre evening experiences for all of our audiences both now and in the years to come; and we hope that in our own little way we help contribute towards bringing the local Standlake and Lower Windrush community together, and bring a bit of fun in the process! | Catch up on the latest amdram news from across the county via our Oxfordshire Drama Network RSS feed here |
The Players perform for village summer fete Once again this year the Players put on a short playlet for the villagers who attended the Standlake school summer fete. This year with the theme being the circus we decided to stage a version of Romeo and Juliet, circus style. Piccalilli Circus more was performed twice in the village hall to all those who cared to come in from the attractions on the recreational ground. We all enjoyed performing and adding to this important annual event that brings together so man from the village. |

| Permanent lighting arrives in Standlake We have now received delivery of a full professional lighting set! The equipment will allow us to fully light all of our shows from now on, and we will also be able to run open mornings, simulating the real theatrical experience on stage! The lights are also flexible enough to allow the group to take shows either outside, or to other venues around Standlake. |
