Happy New Year everyone and welcome to the new decade. (Although there’s some controversy as to whether it actually starts in 2020 or in 2021). I hope you are all rested and relaxed after the holidays and ready to start a new and productive year in theatre.
The work year has begun and our first show of the year opens for a two night run this weekend – 17 & 18th January 2020.
We are delighted to once again be hosting a double bill of original, indigenous plays by community theatre groups from Jo Slovo and Dunoon. The plays are written and directed by members of the two groups and will be performed in Isi Xhosa.
To Book, email your name, number of tickets required, the date of the shot and your tele[phone number to bookings@milnertonplayers.com
Milly’s Awards – Saturday 22 February 2020
The theme for this year’s Milly’s, when we honour those who have excelled in our productions during 2019, is BLUES IN THE NIGHT.
The décor and the musical entertainment between the presentation of the awards will echo the theme so dress in your stylish best and wear something in any shade of blue.
You can enjoy a glass of bubbly on arrival at 19h30 and snacks will be served after the awards ceremony, which will begin at 20h00.
Our bubbly PRO, Beryl Eichenberger, will once again be one of your hosts for the evening with our treasurer, Barry Strick as her co-host.
While there is no charge to attend the Millys, please do book online as usual.

The production of these shows relies on a dedicated body of members that support the theatre either through their attendance and promoting our shows to their family and friends or for those wanting a more hands on experience – we are always looking for members to assist with our productions.
