A NEWLY formed amateur dramatics group will be putting on their first production in Thame.

CatKids (Cheesman Amateur Theatre for Kids) will perform Babes in The Wood at the Players Theatre in Thame.

The director, Alexis Cheesman, and the cast of children aged from four to 12, and a couple of senior members are very excited to put on their first show.

There’s audience participation required with every seat sold, whether it’s in the form of booing the baddies, the Sheriff of Nottingham played by Georgia Rivers and her side-kicks Smash and Grab, or cheering the heroic Robin Hood (Maya Brown) who saves the Babes, Flora (Rebecca Smith) and Fenton (Fabian Cheesman).

The script is written by Mike Hurst (Alexis’ father), who writes for his four children who all run theatre groups around the country.

The company look forward to being regulars with their shows at the theatre.

To buy tickets call Alexis Cheesman on 01491 575076. The performance is on February 1 at 6pm at The Players Theatre in Thame.
