🎭 Limelight’s 3rd Birthday Showcase

📍 St. Peter’s by the Waterfront

Our first big showcase, looking back at all of the productions we’d done to date (much like this series of posts!). This show featured performers from across everything we’d produced, and was a lovely celebration of the community we’d already built in such a short amount of time!

📣 ONE WEEK LEFT TO ENTER OUR BIG RAFFLE! 📣
🎫 Just £1 per ticket
🥇 Winner gets 2 tickets for every show we do in 2027
🗓 Closing Date 31st August
🌐 Enter at limelightperformers.co.uk/building
Limelight Performers are approaching our 6th Anniversary as a charity and 7th year as a group, and in this time we’ve already worked with over 300 participants from the local area, and continuing to grow month to month.
We’re very excited to share that we feel that we’re now approaching the time for us to look to open our own premises! We'd like this to have rehearsal spaces, props & costume rooms, set workshops, office space, and lots more - and so this is a really exciting prospect for us!
It’s very early days, but even at this point there’s going to be a lot of fees involved in early feasibility studies and investigating options of buildings. This means we’re launching a local fundraiser and would be delighted if you’d like to support.
As part of this, we’ve opened an online raffle, where for just £1 per ticket, you can be entered into a draw to have a chance to win 2 tickets to every production we put on in 2027 (we’re expecting 8 shows!). There’ll only be one winner, but the prize will be worth over £200 so it’s well worth an entry!
Find out more at limelightperformers.co.uk/building and please enter if you can!
Entries close at the end of August, and the winner will be announced at the start of September 2026.

🎭 OUR SUMMER 2027 SHOW IN A WEEK IS… THE ADDAMS FAMILY (Young@Part)! 🖤
As we start to organise costumes and get everything back into storage from our recent production of Sister Act Jr, we’re thrilled to announce that our next summer Show in a Week will be the wonderfully weird, delightfully spooky The Addams Family Young@Part! 🕷️
We’ll be heading back to the Seckford Theatre for two performances on Saturday 14 August 2027 — after just five days of rehearsals!
There’ll be opportunities for young people aged 9–18 across cast, crew and young creatives, so whether you love performing, creating, backstage magic or all things theatre, there’ll be a place for you. 🖤
Spaces will be available to Friends members from Sunday 28th Feb, with any remaining spaces released a week later.
It’s going to be a wonderful week of music, mayhem and Addams-style madness — and we can’t wait! 🦇
