Toad of Toad Hall. Our Christmas Production of 1999. The front of the stage was transformed into a river bank, which became the tunnel leading to Toad's Hall where the final battle scene was played out, as pictured here.

Mack and Mabel, presented by The Little Theatre Club in May 2000. This was a highly successful production, and hit the headlines when the lead singer, Paul Allwright, went down with a throat infection. After much deliberation it was decided that MD Paul Green would sing the part from the pit while Paul mimed onstage. This was so successful the audience didn't even notice! Pictured here the 'Keystone Cops'.

A Slice of Saturday Night, presented by the Jay'C Theatre School, July 2000. The set was built in-house by Danny and painted by Trudi and the cast. Jay'C has also performed Bugsy Malone and a production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with music written by New Empire volunteer Rob Turner.

Godspell, August 2000, presented by The Little Theatre Club in coordination with the New Empire as part of the Arts Festival Week. Presented in the Upstairs Theatre to great acclaim.
