The Introduction from the Director

Having been asked to play a part in the development of the MOSkeetoes and the knowledge that the young actors of the group will provide some of the key roles for my forthcoming show ‘The Pied Piper II’, I thought what better than to put on a series of nights which would help hone the groups talents and identify their skills.

What started out as the opportunity to put on a single short show to showcase their talents has now turned into a mini-series of nights, each with a theme to help demonstrate the skills of the individuals and highlight the differences in the different theatre genres.

The first night is ‘Sci-Fi Night’ in which we perform a series of short plays which will help show the abundance of talent this group possesses.
