THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES or 5 Beans for Jack (A CHIPSTEAD PLAYERS YOUTH THEATRE PRODUCTION) 18th – 21st April 2012 By David Foxton Directed by Ian Brown Musical Director: Jacqui Burke Musical Comedy Hilarity abounds along with plenty of audience participation in this merger of two popular pantos. The plot? You’ll have to watch to see how the same tricksters who convince the Emperor his bankrupt state can be salvaged by their magic cloth are also able to con Jack out of his cow in exchange for a handful of beans. But when you realise that the author is an art lecturer whose students included Damien Hirst you’ll appreciate his comment "The bits do fit together." Our online booking office for this production opens to the general public on Saturday 3rd March 2012. |

Our internet-based online ticket booking system, introduced in late 2010, has proved a great success. It is easy to use, fast and reliable, and your e-ticket is delivered straight to your computer. The online system supplements, rather than replaces, the existing system by which people can submit postal ticket applications, call in to the theatre or ring the Box Office to book tickets, but with people increasingly using the Internet, the addition of an online booking facility seemed to make sense.

| RECENT SUCCESSES | |
|
The latest Chipstead Players’ panto, "Snow White and the Seven van Tropps", came to the end of its run on Saturday 21st January. The panto was written by Ian Radburn and Iain McGrath, and featured the usual jolly japes, a splendidly chaotic plot and a host of well-known and not so well-known characters. Judging from the audiences’ reactions as they left the theatre, a splendid time was had by all. Click here for further details, including the cast & crew lists and a selection of photos from the production. Reviews will be added shortly. |
