A local community theatre group will be showcasing Legally Blonde the Musical to celebrate their 63rd anniversary.
St Luke’s Arts and Drama Society (SLADS) will be showcasing both the fierce and fabulous with iconic pink outfits and killer confidence.
The show will be produced by the amateur society at St Luke’s Parish Hall on Derby Road in Salford, running for four nights from Wednesday 28 May until Saturday 31 May.
And as rehearsals have begun, Deputy Chair of the committee, Ashley Francis Owen, 30, said: “We usually do a pantomime over Christmas, and a musical in May.
“We have members in SLADS from 12 and upwards, and we are not for profit any money we make from the show goes into the shows, helping the church, and running other events.”
The show will take place across four nights and will aim to capture the theatrics of the musical, as Ashley continued to share the reason for making it four nights.
“We usually do six nights Monday to Saturday; however, this one is going to be Wednesday to Saturday, and because we have got more nights it is important for us to sell tickets.
“We dropped it down to four nights, we wanted to fill the hall and condense it down it will make it a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
“And hopefully less nights will allow us to be full of energy and give audiences the best shows that we can.”
The society is over 60 years old, and Ashley shared how he was able to get involved in SLADS, as he continued: “I joined 15 years ago, I did it for five years but then when I got a job things got in the way, but it wasn’t until after COVID that I came back as a member, and have become
“And in the role, I have been able to produce the three previous shows to this one.”
The society has over 45 members in the show, as he continued to share that everyone has a different role.
“We have so many members, and some that are not on the stage, from costume to lighting to the set and the front of house. And everyone is so important and helpful.”
And with the growing influence from social media, Ashley continued to speak about the importance of youth in the performance of Legally Blonde the Musical, he added: “For me it is great that we have so many younger members, and we just want them involved.
“The society is more than 60 years old, and we want to integrate the younger generation. We want to pull ourselves in to the 21st century and have the younger people to push us in the right direction.”
The not for profit community theatre group will be also offering guests the chance to win free tickets – which can be entered here.
Ashley added: “We would love as many of the local community to come visit us and watch our show.
“Every little help and will help us go in the right direction.”
The show are set to take place for two hours with an interval – with adults being invited to the show for £10 and concession tickets costing £7 – Tickets to the show can be found here.
