The cheers and whistles at the end brought the house down... It was a really uplifting occasion

Well, we are off for a well-earned Christmas break.
All of us here in the Acting Company would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and we will see you back here in 2009!
Mothball 4th December
11/12/08
On 4th December we had our Mothball which was well attended. Before Mothball, our Production Manager taught some of us how to operate the brand new lighting rig to help get the place looking perfect.
The night was full of fun and surprises, there was a String Trio and as the guests arrived they were introduced by the very well dressed M.C. (by the way, the M.C. was me, Edmund!)
Official Launch of Mind the Gap Studios
20/11/08
Tuesday November 18th was the Official Opening of our new Studios and lots of people came to the event. Baroness Lockwood, our President, unveiled a shiny plaque and made a speech to everyone.
Acting Company and Making Theatre gave all the people tours of the building, playing either a chicken or an 'Egg-spert' - it was great to show the building and all the things in it, everyone who came really enjoyed discovering the building and learning more about Mind the Gap. It was also very useful for people who would like to hire it for special events.
Welcome back Making Theatre
14/10/08
We have been helping Making Theatre settle into the new building and welcoming them back, we also have some people new to Making Theatre this year and have been helping them get used to Mind the Gap.
We have been working hard on our scene for the Schools Programme, this starts on November 2nd and we are really excited about it.
Getting to know the building
29/09/08
This week we have been planning our schools' programme work and getting to know more about our new building.
We have been preparing for the return of Making Theatre, we talked about creating 'Big Brother' style games using new technology so we can welcome them to our new place.
We are now in the new building and we love it!
