StageOne perform Graham Clarke's Joe Carpenter and Son at St Georges Church

Roger here. Our third performance of Graham Clarke's Joe Carpenter and Son at St Georges Church. It was so gratifying to have a large and most appreciative audience. We had many very complimentary comments and it was by all accounts much enjoyed.

To everyone who took part: Thanks for your wonderful efforts, and  your  twirls (Mike);  singing (Norman, Lily-May, Emi-Lou, Lydia and Louise and Dominic; battling masterly and shepherdly against your cold Dave; for the merry playing on the organ and piano, and fetching the wife! (Michael); for being a lovely ordinary couple allowing God to work through you (Maddie & Paul!); for all your lookings and puddings - good'ns too -Hayley; for  your masterly play-mastering Michael; to the kingly 3 Kings and kindly 3 shepherds;to the angelic heavenly host (even though perhaps a couple were still flying somewhere around!) with your wheels; to Allan for that fantastic several-trillion watt brighter Star; and I suppose to the old Tinker!  And much else besides - and for your hard work with the costumes and various props - and above all for all your willing cooperation  to work together  as a Team, supporting one another!

StageOne Summer Show - Our First Performance

Adam here. We had a fabulous time tonight. We had a small but dedicated audience. I think they enjoyed the health and safety announcements as well as the Committee and the Alpha Course with farting on cue. The Adam and Eve and Super Hero 999 were certainly the best of the lot and enhanced more by all the musical interludes. Big well done everyone.

StageOne Easter Show - Holy Trinity Church

Adam here. StageOne had a successful first performance of their Easter Show at Holy Trinity Church. There were many sketches that reflected the Passion story from Palm Sunday through to Easter Sunday. Some notable sketches were a reflection of Palm Sunday from the donkey colt's point of view, a reflection of three disciples wondering if they were the one to betray Jesus,  Jesus and Judas head to head. The best of all was a sketch called a Rock in a Hard Place where Procurator Pilate reflected on the trail of Jesus and the scheming of Caiaphas the high priest.
StageOne will be performing at Folkestone Methodist Church on Saturday 13th May at 3pm.
