Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Thanks to the Local Community Network Fund, Oswaldtwistle Players have received £3,200 to set up a youth drama group.

We haven't decided how exactly it will work at the moment but I would be interested in hearing from anyone 16 and under who would like to get involved. Also, would like to hear from parents/guardians who would like to volunteer to help out at rehearsals and show week.

PM me if you're interested.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Well done Gayle, obviously will help when I can .. love to teach these star studded brats how to act :D Whoops. Would be a pleasure to pass on my wealth of experience to these aspiring actors :)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Or why not try the ACCRINGTON THEATRE GROUP: BUDDIES! Aged 7 - 18? Want to be part of 'Award Winning' shows and variety shows each year? Then The Buddies! Are for YOU!

PM Moi if your interested =) And I'll give you details.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

I'd much rather be part of starting something new and making a success of it

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Well considering your 34 you wouldnt be welcome to join anyway =) lol. We already have 30-40 members, so were not desperate, just if anyone fancies it =)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

will ask our boys , will let you know Gayle. I would also be interested in helping out. Sounds like fun. Keep me posted.

Well done on the funding to X I also have CRB clearance which may help.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

That's great to know Romps - thanks. Yes, will definitely call on you.

The cheque arrived from LNF yesterday so we're going to be off and running soon.

Also, in answer to Tomz - Oswaldtwistle Players will be providing drama experiences, not musicals, so there is room for both in the same area.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

The Buddies do 'drama'. Aswell as musicals. In other words, there is drama/acting within the musicals The Buddies do. Plus, they do a variety show night which also provides drama experiences. I will look forward to coming to see one of your shows, perhaps I could write a review on it, or perhaps I could be biased and write them a bad review as I dont like 'drama experiences'... like someone wrote a biased review last year as they didnt like musicals... cant remember who though.... hmmmm....

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

It was not a biased review - it was a review based on 20 years experience of local amateur dramatics. A lot of people got riled by that review and fair enough but at no point did I criticise any of the young people involved - I said many times throughout the review that they did the best they could with the material. I stressed that I didn't think that light opera was suited to that group.

I will also stress that I gave Buddies an incredibly brilliant review for the show they did before that - Oklahoma - because it was an excellent show. If you want people to come and review your shows then you have to accept that they will not give everything a good review. I could have picked out just the good bits from the last show but what would be the point - I gave a fair and balanced review of the show. If you only ever got good reviews how would you know if the reviewer was being genuine.

I will say that Oklahoma was excellent and you can know I meant it but the last one was not to the same standard so you shouldn't expect the same sort of glowing review.

Reviews hurt if they're not complimentary - I know that because I've also had 'bad' ones in the past - but you should never dwell on them just learn from them.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

If its 'Robin Hood & The Prince Of Sherwood' what The Buddies did your refering too, then how anyone could ever of given that a bad review is beyond me. I dont know if anyone watched the show, but 3 out of the 4 nights it was on, it was a sell out. I watched it every night and it was fantastic. One of the best Ameture productions ive seen so far. And Im not suprised a lot of people were appauled at the review. It wasnt right Gayle im sorry. I dont know what you were thinking the night you watched, but it really wasnt right.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

It wasn't Robin Hood it was a Light Opera thing - Pirates of Penzance.

I was banned from coming to review any more shows after I reviewed Pirates.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

It was the Adults Group who did the Pirates of Penzance, thats the one you reviewed.

Or are you talking about when The Buddies (youth group) did it earlier this month?

And I acknowledged you were banned from coming to the shows. Because many in the society do actually believe you are biased, coming from the Ossy Players group. Also, Oliver was a sell out every night, so you werent given the opportunity to have a ticket.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Then it wasn't Pirates - I honestly can't remember - it was a Light Opera thing and it was the year after Oklahoma.

There is no competition between Oswaldtwistle Players and Accrington Theatre Group - we do drama you do musicals - there is more than enough space for both of us in the area. I was not biased and gave both the adult group and the youth group many good reviews.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Yeah I thought so. It was actually Robin Hood by The Buddies which you gained criticism after rewiewing. And you were banned from the shows after Robin Hood. That was the year after Oklahoma.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

It was NOT Robin Hood, see even you can't remember it! It was a Gilbert and Sullivan light opera thing.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

I've just looked on the Accrington Theatre Group website and it was HMS Pinafore!

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Okay then. I dont think it was one of their best to be honest. But I still think your biased. And I cant wait to come and see Ossy Players.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Actually, after looking at the dates on your performance, I cant attend im afraid, ive already got three ameture shows to attend that week.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

I am not biased but then again you would think I was because you clearly are.

Shame you can't come to see our play.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Im not biased. You think I am because I think you are. So ha. And Inspector Drake And The PerfeKt Crime (whatever that is) doesnt really ring my bell. Id much rather watch a musical =)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Hey Tomz....are you Britcliffe in disguise?

You are, are'nt you!:)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Haha. How did you guess?

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

You can't disguise your juvenile inadequacy.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Ahhh well. Does the same apply for Gayle? Can she not disguise her juvenile inadequacy?

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

You leave my best friend out of this.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Was that a threat from one of my fellow Accrington Web members?!

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Me thinks my 'drama queen' crown might be about to be stolen.;)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

It has. Tommo's nicked it.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Ooo I think Id be much more suited with the 'sarcastic' crown. Where as you may be more suited to the 'gullable' crown? Or... the 'sucking up to Gayle' crown?

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Like I said the first time you said that, [yawn,] the only person I suck up to is myself.:)



Me sees Baby Jane Garinda feeding poor Tomasina a dead rat for supper, before taking the break of the little dear's chair.;)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Your signature is rather interesting. Maybe I should change mine, yet again, I can actually come up with a good comeback rather than having to display petty comments in my signature. =)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Don't bother.

I was whupping arses, and using pithy put downs before you watched your first Judy Garland film.:)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Sounds like Gayle's toy boy is suffering from a touch of green eyed monster. Don't worry Tom I am sure Gayle will be your friend as well as Gary's.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

I dont understand.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Since Mrs Knight is only a few months older than me I don't think I can qualify as her 'toyboy.':eek:


Plus we agree to disagree on lots of issues, though I do think her enthusiasm is the shot in the arm that local politics can do with, especially if she can pull off a coup d'etat and unseat the leader of the council in the elections in May.:)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Ah I see. So you were the 'Gary'

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

You know I did not mean you :p

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

'The Gary'?

Cryptic doesn't really work, you'll have to explain more...if you can.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Forget it.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Typical.

Don't have the balls, or any conviction in your argument.

Tory boy. Suprise, suprise.:(

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

No. Its called cant be arsed chatting to to likes of yourself. And Id rather be a Tory than be part of any organisation which includes the likes of yourself!

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Hey Garinda...have you been PM'ing Tommo? You know he's much to young for you...

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

See there you go again in your own little fantasy land.

I am not a part of any 'organisation.'

Go and play with your dressing up box and pretend you are Ethel Merman, and come back when you have the intelligence to have a grown up debate.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

I did not realise thats what we were having ;) maybe I should go as well.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

And who are you to tell anyone to go away and come back. The same applies smart arse. I am part of no organisation aswell. So dont call me a Tory boy. I have the intelligence. Its just not on the same level as your childishness.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

What was this thread about?:confused:

Is this the one were Tomz wants to show how musicals are serious drama, or the one were he thinks I'm a member of the KGB?:D

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Ooooo And there you go again. Typical Labour ****. Twisting things people say. Have I said musicals are serious drama's?..... No didnt think so... must be just in your little fantasy land!!

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Get your facts right sunshine.

I do.:)

You have called yourself a Tory numerous times.

I am not a member of any political party, or ever said I was, otherwise I'd be telling lies, which 'I' don't do.

Anyway, it's Friday, it's five to five, it's CRACKERJACK! So have fun.:)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Oh sorry. I thought you were hinting at its Friday, its five to five, and its bed time. What a silly mistake.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

No we'll let you stay up late tonight, you've been very entertaining. We might even give you an extra glass of milk.:D

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

As much as id love to accept your glass of milk. I wouldnt accept anything from yourself being a Labour lass like you are.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Dear, dear.:(

You read my profile where it quite clearly states sex- MALE.

Perhaps you've been hanging out with the thespian hoofers, doing your musicals, to tell the difference?

....and again, I'm not a member of the Labour party, do try and get some of your facts right.:D

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Oh I know your of the male species. I just think your acting like a big woman. Correction: Big Labour Woman.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Jealousy will be your downfall, you little wanna be queenie poo.

How do you know I am big?

Did you lie about your age AGAIN, and have been watching my webcam?

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

It does strike me that your time would be better spent back at school rather than nicking off and fooling around on here attempting to insult upstanding stalwarts of the local internet community, such as Garinda.

Get back to your A levels, young man. You never know...with luck, you might even get a couple of Grade 'D's this summer.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Was that your best comeback? You know im going to leave this thread, and talk to you in the other one. Your just about worth the one thread, never mind two.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

And it pleases me even more to know that your spending your time on here attempting to insult a 17 year old boy. :D What a very sad life you must lead.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Tomasina, I feel your developing a schoolgirl crush on me, please dont.:(

I'm premiership, you are strictly jumpers for goal posts, it will only end with you on tears.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Ooooo now your calling me a girl? No wait... im sure ive just used that one... can you not come up with anything better? I call you a girl, you call me a girl.

And let me re-phrase your premiership comment. Im Tory, and you are strictly Labour begging for votes. It will only end with you in tears. =)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

I am not insulting anyone, nor have I ever done so. I simply comment on the evidence on the screen before me.

What is sad is that as a taxpayer I am having to contribute to the costs of your education. Such a waste of money.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Exactly.:)

At least Tealeaf didn't have to pay for my education, because I was fed my learning privately, on a silver spoon.:)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

How do you know I dont go to a Private School?

Or infact, have left education?

Hmmmm interesting...

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

I never said you didn't.

If you do though, I'd be telling your parents to demand a refund.:)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

I know you never said I didnt. Thats because I wasnt talking to you. =)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

....because it was myself that mentioned private education, not Tealeaf.

Logic not one of your strong points either?

By the way how can I be a paedophile when you are seventeen, ie: over the age of consent? An age at which people were giving their lives so you could come out with your silly little insults.

Plus like I said earlier, I'm way out of your league.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

And theres me thinking you bent over and took it like a public school boy :p

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Hahahaha! Dont make me laugh "way out of my league". You really do think highly of yourself dont you. Is that because no-one feels the same about you?

And I hadnt seen your post on private education until I sent my post. I was refering to TeaLeaf's comment on education. It just so happened we posted about private education at the same time.

And Im not nessecarly over the age of consent. Well not in God's eyes. I wont have sex until im married thank you. So any offers you may wish to put forward, I strictly refuse. Perv.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Silly little chap. My only interest in you is to show you up for the unhinged fool you are.

As for you finding a wife.............good luck.

Still they say for every screw there's a nut, and at least you won't be spoling another couple.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

And there you go again 'attempting' to patronise someone younger than you. You really should take lessons in that because it really doesnt work. They also say for every forum theres a d*ck. And I think im speaking to that person now. (Hint Hint)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Like I said age has nothing to do with it. I'll still be patronising to you when you've become a man, or grown up, whichever comes first.:)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Please don't bring the big guy into this. The topic has become controversial enough already.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

What can I say?

God made me a winner............or was it a sinner.

Whatever.

God made me, and wants me for a sunbeam.:)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

I just noticed this is Gayle's thread, she will slap us when she returns from littering er I mean leafleting St Andrews ward.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Right Personal Attacks on members is not allowed so can we now get back to the thread and stop this slanging match thankyou ALL

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Oh, I'm still here - I've sent Chris out with the leaflets tonight.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

[

And I acknowledged you were banned from coming to the shows. Because many in the society do actually believe you are biased, coming from the Ossy Players group. Also, Oliver was a sell out every night, so you werent given the opportunity to have a ticket.[/QUOTE]

Reverting back to the original thread, as a member of both groups, can I just point out that the reason the Theatre Group chose Oiver is that they could not cast their original choice >> and this was not the Buddies production. The Buddies and Oliver obtained bookings mearly on the backs of attendances by the parents, schools, friends etc., purely because there are young people involved with a large cast, and not due initially on the merit of its productions, albeit they are always extemely noteworthy.
The theatre group are well aware of this.

As we have discussed before, you have to accept criticism and Gayle's was constructive from which you should take note and learn, upsetting I know, but you definitely improve on the point the next time >>> I certainly did try (I hope).

Also, there is a very wide gap between the way dialogue is handled in plays as against musicals ... so Ossie Players are offering their experience in an entirely different area here.

Anyway folks, the Theatre Group's next production should help their coffers ... The Full Monty ! (although not quite as full as you may anticipate) .. so get your tickets early.. ;)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

The fact that you say her opinion is biased, and completely wrong yet you don't even know which production she gayle reviewed AND then later backtrack saying it wasn't the best speaks volumes about you tomz. You should think then comment.

Correct, It is the Full Monty. But as a member of the society. I think you should know that its all still supposed to be a bit 'hush hush'. And there is time to change shows yet, as Camelot was last years original show, but was changed at a later date to Oliver. So you never know with Accy Theatre Group, they may just change their mind last minute. And therefore Full Monty shouldnt be really advertised that much ;)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Why do you think personal insults are neccesary? I may disagree with Tories in my family, but they wouldn't speak like you are doing.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group

No sweat Tomz, just between you and me and Accyweb has only 3,000 registered members. :D Know what you mean though, they may well have difficulty in the casting :rolleyes:

Thought would be more in trouble with Gayle for mentioning another production on her thread .... sorreeee Gayle.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

I know. But I wouldnt mind getting my kit off on stage ;) haha. So thats one person lol.

I hope it all goes ahead though =)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

If you are as keen on the performing arts as you make out then maybe you should be a little more supportive of the other drama groups in the area and not diss their attempts;Ossy Players will no doubt put their funding to very good use and you can't really dismiss their next production out of hand without having seen it or read the script.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Yep.... :D

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

You really are an eloquent young man aren't you? Such an expansive vocabulary too;it's a shame the phrase "give it up" doesn't appear in there!

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Says the man who recently described Tories as 'a shower of sh1te' then edited it to read 'bunch of incompetents'.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Leave the lad alone now folks .. sure he would be welcome at Ossie players if he wished to learn more ... certainly has all the right characteristics for acting: confidence, passion, high-spirits, cheek, controversial, aggressionsiveness, egotistical, self-opinionated etc., etc., etc., certainly grabbed your attention .. yes, surely a great performer in the making. :D

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Yes, except he's already been proven to be posting under two names which isn't allowed.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Ah, enterprise as well .. :)

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

A sign of a great drama queen, pathos and mirth.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

You wicked Garinda :evil:

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Well, progress, we've appointed a youth worker to run this project professional. He's a guy with lots of talent and experience from within our own ranks so ideal for the gig.

I'm going to sort out a rehearsal space soon and then send out a press release. Initially to limit numbers a bit we're going to keep to the 11 - 16 age range but that shouldn't stop anyone older or younger getting in touch just in case we don't get enough takers.

We're only going to be able to take 30 young people on the project initially and they're going to have to send us their names in writing i.e. a short letter of interest. If we get a higher level of interest than that then we're going to have to rethink.

More news to follow soon with a press release being sent out to the local papers at the end of April.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Sorry, posted twice

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Again Gayle, would apprectiate members being informed of the progress of same .. sure we can all help, but being shut out doesn't.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Player's Youth Group
 

Isn't that what she has just done???:rolleyes:
