That is, until he meets the girl of his dreams.  But there's one problem: she is Mrs. Robinson's daughter.

Running Time: 102  mins.

Screening at 2pm

TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR A VERY SPECIAL CHARITY EVENT …

Friday 16^th & Saturday 17^th September  

Colne Dramatic Society (and Friends) present

Love Letters by A R Gurney

Love Letters is an American play which centres on Melissa and Andrew whose friendship spans nearly 50 years.  The play traces that friendship from childhood through wild teenage years, adulthood, and up to maturity via the notes, letters and cards which they send to each other during that time.  Through them they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats – all the events that have occurred and all the news that has passed between them throughout their separated lives.

For this special charity production, directed by Beverly McKiernan, actors from four of the region’s best drama societies have been invited to take part – and so, on Friday 16th, Angela Boult from Pendle Hippodrome will be joined on stage by The Garrick’s Alan Hargreaves; while on Saturday 17th, CDS’s very own Marilyn Crowther will share the stage with Peter Allen from Pendle Borderline.

All profits will be presented to the local branch of Cancer Research and the performances will be dedicated to the memory of the many local performers who have lost their battle with Cancer.  There will also be a raffle, tombola – and hopefully even a few charity stalls on the night, all in support of this very worthy cause.

Bookings:

Tickets for the event are now on sale and cost only £7.00 each (£6.50 concessions).  They can be purchased from the ACE Centre Box Office (cash sales only) or by cheque (made payable to Colne Dramatic Society) which should be forwarded – with SAE - to CDS at 102 Knotts Lane, Colne BB8 8AE. 

For further details please contact Beverly on 01282 661080 (office hours) or 07974 010504 (evenings) – but be sure to book soon as demand is expected to be high on this one off event!

Commencing 7.30pm

Tickets £7.00  (£6.50 concessions)
