Social Activities
| One
of the by-products of amateur drama is the opportunity for like-minded
people to socialise together and members of this Society have enjoyed
numerous social activities. Invariably after the final curtain on the
last night of a production all the members of the cast, along with all
the helpers, have gathered together for a party, usually continuing
well into the early hours of the next day, thereby relieving the
tension of the previous few days. In addition there has always been an annual get together at some restaurant or other suitable venue - a dinner or buffet meal accompanied by some form of entertainment. A special effort was made when the Society celebrated its Golden Jubilee with a dinner and dance at the Royal Hotel in Port Erin, an occasion when a cheque for one thousand pounds was donated to the Erin Arts Centre (a registered charity). There have been car treasure hunts and organised visits to the Gaiety Theatre. Many of the Society's playreadings have been regarded as a means of keeping members together socially rather than as a preliminary to a stage production. Nor must one overlook the light hearted camaraderie which can be enjoyed at rehearsals or when building or striking a set. |
