This will be reported next time.

Studio32 would like to say a huge thank you to those of you who went along to see Sister Act. It was a tremendous experience for everyone involved. The months of preparations paid off and the show was amazing. It is often said that many of the actors involved could be on stage in the West End. They certainly proved this in their fabulous performances. The cast and crew are taking a well-deserved break now in preparation for the next mammoth production which will be 9to5. The licence has already been purchased and the show will be advertised here and on the website
www.studiothirtytwo.org. Studio32 are already looking forward to entertaining you again. Watch this space.
If you would like to be part of this band of charitable entertainers in the Stage Diary, please email editor@femalefocusonline.com.
