That programme gets underway this week and includes:
- rehearsing and recording new and existing material – for sharing with club members and possibly for broadcast to wider audiences
- holding watch parties
- full club gatherings
We will continue to monitor Scottish Government guidance and evolve our programme accordingly, taking advantage of any new opportunities as the arise
We have managed to negotiate new dates for the productions that we had planned to stage in March and June. We’re choosing not to publicise these dates or open ticket sales until such times as we are certain the shows can go ahead. So, keep an eye out for performance dates for the re-scheduled “Inspector Drake and the Black Widow” and “The Witches”.
2020 is the year in which FDS celebrates its 90th anniversary. We’re hoping to celebrate the anniversary with members and friends later in the year, but you’ll appreciate that detailed planning is difficult in current circumstances. That doesn’t prevent us from considering the options and opportunities. Club members have already generated some ideas that we are investigating. But we are still open to suggestions.
Further updates will follow as appropriate. In the meantime, stay well and we hope to have the lights back on at Studio 132 before too long.
