Christmas Extravaganza 2022

York Settlement Community Players and York Shakespeare Project invite you to their annual Christmas Extravaganza! Join us at St Lawrence Church Hall, Lawrence Street on Friday 16 December at 7.30pm.

The idea is for a convivial get together with drinks and nibbles. And the evening will feature seasonal entertainment, from those who are minded to do a turn.

To reserve your place, it is £6 (members and non-members). Contact maurice.crichton@ntlworld.com to reserve your place. He’ll request payment by 14 December. Your £6 includes a couple of glasses of mulled wine or non alcoholic punch and a mince pie.

Tony Froud is organising the entertainment.  He would love to hear from you as the success of past evenings has largely rested on the varied entertainment provided by attendees. We are looking for a short seasonal performance of some kind: a song, a skit, a character sketch, a variety act, a reading, a speech (or what you will). You could do it solo, as a double act or as part of a group, and be as polished or as impromptu as you choose. To book a slot and bagsy your material (first come first served) contact tonyfroud@hotmail.com right away so that he can begin to put together the programme. How long is a slot? Let Tony have an idea of how long you think it will take you to deliver your material (as short as you like but no more than 5 or 6 minutes). Depending on the response he may need you to cut it down. He may have a few suggestions if you want to perform but don’t know what you want to do.

You are invited to bring something to keep the party going: a drink, a nibble.

This is not a fundraiser: any profits will go to a homelessness charity.

We look forward to seeing you there!
