🎭Meet The Voices🎵
With our 2026 concert only 2 days away we thought we
would shine a spotlight on some new faces to our Limelight family as well as some familiar faces! We asked our voices to share what they enjoyed so much about
Community Voices!
🎭Rachel Brame
"I am incredibly grateful and proud to be part of this singing group. The passion for musicals here is truly contagious, and I’m so excited to be performing in my second concert. Singing together and creating those harmonies gives me goosebumps every time.
You’re going to love One Day More — it’s such a powerful piece! What makes this group so special is how we support and believe in one another.
Thank you all for being part of this journey. Come and watch us — we’d love to share it with you!"
🎭Kate Webb
"I'm new to this incredible group of welcoming singers and have had such fun rehearsing our diverse range of songs with them.
Initially, I absolutely loathed the Jersey Boys medley, as I disliked all the elongated vowel sounds. But having listened to how Frankie sings it, I relaxed into the vibe of the piece and it's now actually one of my favourites; along with the Les Mis medley.
Thank you for making me feel so welcome and included."
🎭Macaulay Elvin
"I love being a part of Limelight Voices this has been a wonderful journey working together for this show celebrating the love and passion we have for the theatre.
Limelight Voices isn’t just a group; it’s a family built on trust, creativity, and the joy of performing. Every time I step into that space, I’m reminded why I love it: the connection, the challenge, the music, and the feeling of belonging to something that shines.
But what truly makes it meaningful is the people. There’s an energy in the room when we come together—a mix of laughter, focus, and shared passion. Everyone brings their own spark, and somehow those sparks turn into something bright and unforgettable. Being surrounded by people who care about the craft as much as I do pushes me to grow, to try new things, and to show up as the best version of myself."

With our 2026 concert only 4 days away we thought we would shine a spotlight on some more of the wonderful people that make up our community voices. This concert sees the return of some familiar faces from previous shows as the "Community Ensemble". We asked our voices to share what they enjoyed so much about Community Voices and what keeps them coming back!
🎭Bev Greer
"I have been part of this lovely group of people for nearly 3 years & really enjoy singing together every week. We have such fun learning the different songs. I always leave at the end of the evening with a smile on my face. It's very hard to choose a favourite song from this concert, I have a few. The Aladdin Medley is one of them. My favourite things from The Sound of Music is an all time favourite of mine. It's taken me nearly 3 years to pluck up the courage to do this song as a solo in one of our concerts. Tickets are only £10. Please come & share the evening with us."

🎭Meet The Voices🎵
With our 2026 concert less than 2 weeks away we thought we would shine a spotlight on the wonderful people that make up out community voices. By starting of with our lead of community voices, Vanessa and our very own Limelight Mum, Julie! We asked them to share what they enjoyed so much about Community Voices and to introduce themselves a bit!
🎭Vanessa Mitchell - Community Voices Lead
"What do a supermarket delivery driver, a freight forwarder, an animal feed formulator and a musician have in common? We're all Community Voices.
The Voices are a wonderful group of people, all of whom love to sing. They are a fantastic group to work with, giving their all and their friendship, making a great group to spend an evening with and a fantastic sound together too.
My favourite song? Well that's a difficult question, but I can't help but love the exuberance of Oklahoma! It gives us all a buzz and puts smiles on all faces.
Do come and enjoy the show, we promise it will be a great evening!"
🎭Julie Aleksic - Limelight Trustee and our Limelight Mum
"I'm so excited to be sharing our music on the stage with friends at our upcoming concert, where there's something for everyone! It's a privilege to be leading them for "The Black Hills of Dakota", which brings back so many happy memories watching Calamity Jane on a Saturday afternoon with family and us all crooning along!! With tickets at £10, we'd love to see as many people there as possible to share the evening with us and help raise money for our charity group at the same time."

Last weekend, we took to the stage at Gallery Studio Theatre with The Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition — the culmination of an unforgettable “Show in a Week” project! ✨🌈
In just five days, our talented young cast and crew rehearsed, learned lines, mastered choreography, built characters, and brought the magical world of Oz to life. From Kansas to the Emerald City, every moment on stage was filled with energy, commitment, and heart. 💚
We are so proud of the courage, teamwork, and creativity shown by every single person involved. Taking on a full production in one week is no small feat — and they rose to the challenge brilliantly.
A huge thank you to our team, families, and everyone who made the week possible — and most importantly, to the young people who were incredible throughout! 👠🌪️
Here’s to following the yellow brick road to many more amazing projects! Spaces for our next ‘show in a week’ - Sister Act Jr - go on sale to ‘Friends’ members this Sunday, check the website for details!

Our Chairman, James, was delighted to attend an event last year hearing all about Ipswich's bid to become City of Culture in 2029. 🎭 This was hosted by Jack Abbott MP, alongside ITFC's Mark Ashton, and leaders from the New Wolsey Theatre, Dance East, Ipswich Central and many more.
👉 Sign up to back the bid: www.Ipswich2029.com
This is a wonderful opportunity for our town, and there is a real focus on making it a town-wide bid, shaped by local people. They want to celebrate culture in all its forms and embrace the diverse ways we all come together to live, play and connect.
They're asking as many local people as possible to sign up and back the bid, showing pride in Ipswich and belief in its future. We've backed it, and would encourage you to do the same at www.ipswich2029.com - where you can find out more and register your support.
