Dear Members of G&S
You will notice that in this issue of Gaslight we are focusing very much on our superb production of ‘SOUTH PACIFIC’. Please support G&S by promoting this production to all your friends and family.
We have also got an exciting competition running for the person who sells the most tickets to ‘South Pacific’ and this is open to all members of G&S:
The ticket sales campaign is a competition for enthusiastic sales agents. One point will be awarded for each ticket sold.
Prize money will be awarded to the three agents with the highest number of points.
The prizes will be R 3 000, R 2 000 and R 1 000.
For further information please contact Waldo Buckle.
Future productions and a concert for later in 2019 are being finalised and we encourage you to keep your eyes open for audition dates. Information will only be released once ‘South Pacific’ has finished its run.
We will also be hosting two exciting workshops to help hone our theatrical and musical skills.
So, to be informed, keep reading Gaslight and all our Social Media platforms.
