    We are very pleased to welcome back the very talented actors from thisismytheatre, who will be performing Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” on Friday 1st December, 5pm – 6.30pm. Anyone who has attended one of the many performances from thisismytheatre we’ve had over the past few years will know what to expect. Brilliant acting, wonderful singing, wonderful music, audience participation, and maybe for some, the unique experience of being close-up to the actors. Something you don’t usually get at a traditional theatre.

    We suggest arriving a early, say 4.30pm, because we’re expecting a full house, plus the theatre group usually have a warm-up from 4.30pm.

    Tickets available from Thismytheatre, adults £15, children under 16 £10, under 4’s free. There is a discount for Friends of St Mary’s. If you are a Friend of St Mary’s, contact steve.dale@gmail for the discount code.

    We look forward to seeing you on the 1st December. Happy Christmas
