Our season of short plays came and went successfully, playing to surprisingly large audiences for a short play season. The audience sizes might have been because the headlining play had name recognition, but we got a good audience response for the play I was in as well. (And also, because it was an absurdist comedy, a fair number of people professing that although they'd enjoyed it they didn't have a clue what it was actually about. And several people independently mentioning that they'd expected it to end in a particular way that it didn't because that would have made too much sense.)
I got an unexpected bonus out of it. Part of the set for the play was a sofa that was donated to the play by a club member who didn't want it any more, but the club also didn't want to keep it because of having several sofas already and not enough space for another one. Meanwhile, I've been pondering getting a new sofa for a while now, because the one I already had was fine for sitting on but too short to properly lounge on. So now I have a comfortable newish sofa at considerably less expense than if I'd bought an actually new one.
Our next production, which opens next week, is the local instance of All Together Now!, a musical revue show being performed simultaneously in over 2000 theatres worldwide. It's an event intended to help encourage people back into attending live theatre, and particularly small local theatres -- it features numbers from major Broadway musicals that would normally cost a pile to licence, but the licence-holders are allowing participating theatres to perform them, and providing the necessary sheet music, etc., without charge on this one occasion. The programme varies from theatre to theatre, but we're doing numbers from (among others) Les Mis, Rent, Godspell, Little Shop of Horrors, and Matilda. If you're interested, and in a part of the world where attending live theatre is currently a sensible proposition, there's an online map you can use to find out if there's going to be a show near you.

Yay for good audiences and unexpected sofa.
And am now going to investigate local options for the simultaneous performance.

... your's is the second closest, the nearest I can find the Facebook group, which has no booking information obvious. ... I probably shouldn't try and plan a trip to K at this point in time.
