Footlights Youth Theatre celebrate their 18th birthday this week with a performance of Anything Goes at The Point Theatre, Eastleigh, and you are all invited!
Climb aboard the SS American, from Wednesday until Saturday, and meet a comically colourful array of passengers.
The lovelorn Billy Crocker tries to win the favour of his beloved Hope Harcourt, with the help of night club singer and evangelist Reno Sweeney and public enemy No.13, Moonface Martin.
The show is a classic song and dance musical, packed full of well known Cole Porter songs, incredibly funny and guaranteed to deliver the feel good factor.
Footlights are an Eastleigh based youth theatre started 18 years ago by David Tatnall and Simon Pontin who, at the time, were themselves only 18 years old.
In the early days the group performed at the Colden Common Community Centre, performing classic musicals like Oliver and Singing In The Rain.
Since then the group has gone from strength to strength, performing in various theatres around the region as their audience size and reputation grew. These days Footlights Youth Theatre have a well deserved reputation as an outstanding local youth theatre group and have won several prestigious awards, including twice winning the coveted Daily Echo Curtain Call Production of the Year award across all amateur youth and senior productions in the area.
They have also won several NODA awards, including, most recently, NODA Accolade of Excellence awards for their productions of Les Miserables and Little Shop of Horrors.
