A SLICE OF SATURDAY NIGHT
30, 31 JULY, & 1ST AUGUST

Tickets have now become available ONLINE for this summer's smash hit show, A Slice of Saturday Night - presented by the musical theatre company Debut and produced by Roger Nuttall. Roger produced the recently successful, Hot Mikado and also Honk. The show brings together many members of several local societies between the ages of 16 and 25 and is under the musical direction of Paul Nicholls who brought us Anything Goes and Fiddler on the Roof.

Set in a nightclub in the 1960s the show is a very funny musical pastiche of the time, following the ups and downs of teenagers in love.

It could be your last chance to catch three of this area's most talented young performers this summer, when they take to the stage as a team in the Thwaites Empire Theatre's sizzling summer musical production of A Slice of Saturday Night at the end of July.

21 year old Charlotte McGrory, 25 year old Roger Nuttall and James Dryden aged 19 are all experienced performers with societies in Blackburn, Rossendale, Burnley and Accrington.

The three have their hearts set on the professional world of theatre and have been offered places at London's top training academys. Charlotte and James at the Central School of Speech and Drama and Roger at Mountview.

Charlotte and James are both taking principal roles in the 60s musical from 30th July to 1st August, whilst Roger Nuttall is directing the show.

Roger said, 'I have gained so much experience and made so many friends through the local theatre community but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to train as a professional and if I don't do it now I may regret it in the future.
