SHELTON Performers will once again be under the spotlights at Center Stage Theatre.
Clive Brill in the McGrigor Hall. FRINTON Summer Theatre will be kicking off its 80th season in style with a spring cabaret. The theatre’s anniversary celebrations were put on hold least year after venues were shut due to the Covid-19 lockdown. But the popular theatre will return on May 21 and 22 with its Spring Cabaret at the McGrigor Hall. The three performances aim a celebration of the joys of spring with comedy, tunes from the shows, poetry and readings. It will be presented by Frinton regulars John D Collins (Our Man in Havana), Jemima Watling (Black Chiffon), Sarah Lambie (Stepping Out) and Steven Edis on the piano and is produced and directed by the theatre’s artistic director Clive Brill.
A PERFORMING arts group impacted by the coronavirus pandemic has been given another major boost after receiving thousands of pounds in funding. The Frinton Summer Theatre, based at the McGrigor Hall in Fourth Avenue, is considered the longest-running summer repertory theatre in the UK. The theatre puts on seven plays in seven weeks throughout July and August and in recent years it has hosted a musical in a big tent on Frinton Greensward. Last year the theatre was due to celebrate its 80th season but was forced to suspend any planned productions because of the Covid-19 crisis. The financial impact of the cancelled performances was mitigated slightly when the group was given £68,000 from the Government’s Cultural Recovery Fund.
