It was originally known as 'Age Concern night' because all of the audience were from Age Concern groups. However, now they come from a range of day centres, clubs and residential homes around the area so it's affectionately known as OAP night!
Secretary sends out letters each year to invite groups to see the show. They are then bused to us for the night for a FREE performance! They buy their programmes and their raffle tickets but their tickets to see the show and the tea and coffee in the interval are complimentary.
We get a great audience for the start of our second week of performances and they get a night out on us.
Tonight's audience were great as usual although quiet to start off with and I got to do something I've not done before - the raffle in the hall, in character, which was great fun. Escorting the oldies down to the front of the hall to collect their prizes.
