CRUDE APACHE NEWS July 2006

...with special Hello! wedding supplement...

SINGING

THE

POSTMAN

by Jonathan Edward Edye

Three men are stranded on a rainy night in rural East Anglia.

Can they find their way to Framlingham?

Will they discover each others dark
secrets?

And why are they all wearing postman's uniforms?

Crude Apache's free outdoor summer show celebrates the life and songs of Norfolk's own Allan Smethurst, the Singing Postman, in a light-hearted musical tale of love, loss and smoking.

postman about his business

Don't miss this fantastic show starring the cream of Crude Apache talent: Miss Jo “Gro” Moore, Mr Tim “Bob” Lane, Mr Richard “Banjo” Brook and Mr Duncan “Rowe” Your Boat. Quotes include 'Fantastic' and 'Best original drama since the last one'.

The show runs at 70 mins with no interval. Dates are below and Jo needs stewards for all of them, particularly those in Norwich. Anyone interested (you get to wear a lovely T-shirt) please contact Jo on 07867 882 304 or jo@trolleyfilms.co.uk

Cabaret Cupboard

Due to various 'stuff' Russ J is putting this back to Sept/Oct. More details at the next meeting. He is still looking for acts: musical, theatrical, comedic, stand up, poetry, magic, even juggling and mime will be considered if he's really desperate. We know there's plenty of budding talent out there, so anyone who is even vaguely interested, please, please, please contact him on 07739 073 545 or rascalturner@hotmail.com

In the Pipeline

For the first time in some years we are entering a fallow period. Jo Edye has some ideas for a Broads based show in '08, Tim L has mooted a possible Xmas show and Russ J and Andy B are still threatening to unleash the joint power of their egos on the world at some point in the next year. However after STP there is nothing definite planned, so if anyone out there has a project that they would like to put on in the next year or so, please come along to a committee meeting or get in touch with one of us. Especially you Duncan Rowe!!!

Earn cash!!
The First Norwich Lager Festival at St. Andrews Hall from 23rd - 28th August is looking for BAR STAFF. It pays £6 per hour plus bonus.

Still Seeking Jumpers

Andy still needs loads of really bad taste jumpers, sweatshirts and cardys. Drag those embarrassing gems out of the wardrobe and dump them on the northern one.

We'll Meet Again

Next meeting is on Wed 9^th August at

the Nelson PH, 8pm. All welcome.

Due to the lack of any other stuff, the remainder of this month's newsletter will be dedicated to gossip and events. So what's been happening to the Crudettes in the last few weeks?

For those of you who have been on Mars recently, I am now officially allowed to reveal that Gro and Gareth got engaged. The question was officially popped on a Southwold beach at around midnight; a ring has been bought and parents are delighted. Mrs “Mum of Gro” Moore professes to be very excited and is already looking at new hats (allegedly).

Tom Francis was awarded a special prize from UEA for giving the best performance of the year as part of the first year of his drama degree.

Those in the Grove Road area are advised to look left and right before crossing the road as Chairman Will has passed his British driving license.

Nicky J Turner is currently in Nepal and, hopefully, will be returning soon with little Karishma.
