30 Tickets Reserved in Front Stalls Rows B – C – D   £22.50

Reservation must be confirmed by 19^th February

SISTER ACT. Starring Sheila Hancock as Mother Superior, Patina Miller as Deloris and Ian Lavender as Monsignor Howard.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder she is put in protective custody in the one place cops are sure she won’t be found- a convent!  Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and an up tight Mother Superior.  Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community, but in doing so blows her cover.  Soon the gang are giving chase, only to find themselves up against Deloris and the power of her new found Sisterhood.

Based on the smash-hit film, Sister Act features a brand new score by 8 time Oscar winner Alan Menken, whose credits include Little Shop of Horrors, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and most recently, the hit film Enchanted.

May

The Inns of Court by Manuela Sowter a Probus Guided Walk who is a Registered City of London Guide and an Associate Member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding arranged for Saturday 15^th May.

Details are you make your way to the venue, precise details will follow. Numbers will need to be restricted to 25 maximum so it will be first come etc. Note there is much walking. Cost will be £10 per head plus the cost of lunch at ‘The Cheshire Cheese’

On a Saturday the Temple Hall will be closed, but it still would be a very nice experience - depending on the weather, of course.  It is possible that the Church could be opened until 1 pm, if there is no wedding.  

The ideal time is May when all the blossom is out and it is really beautiful there and not so cold.

The Walk would be of the Inner and Middle Temple and parts of Fleet Street and if we could include a visit to St Bride's Church in Fleet Street, opposite the Olde Cheshire Cheese Pub, then there will be the buffet lunch, which is very good and enjoyable at the Olde Cheshire Cheese.  They usually reserve a room for us with a bar upstairs.

Herb Tucker has it easy. He lives in a Hollywood beach house, has a beautiful and adoring girlfriend, Steffy, and makes his living as a screenwriter … Well, it’s not quite like that. Herb is struggling with writer’s block, his beach house is a cheap and colourless bungalow, and he can’t bring himself to propose marriage.

Cue the arrival of the lively and determined Libby, a nineteen year old who speaks to her dead grandmother and dreams of becoming a movie star in any way she can! We soon discover that Libby is Herb’s daughter, whom he hasn’t seen since he walked out on her mother sixteen years previously. Libby, demanding that Herb helps her break into the movie business, moves in, and soon emotions run high as Herb is forced to deal with his past, his responsibilities as a father, and his fear of commitment. The legendary Neil Simon has blessed us with plays such as The Odd Couple and Barefoot in The Park – I Ought To Be In Pictures is another comedy-drama that will have you laughing out loud at its hilarious dialogue but also leave you moved with moments of truth and tenderness
