Calling all members of SMCT’s Victorian Christmas Carolers (VCC) as well as singers who would like to join us for the first time! This year’s VCC rehearsals will take place at Carol and Steve’s house ( junction of Routes 94 & 6 in Foster), on Saturdays from 9:15 to 11:00 a.m. beginning on October 2.

Singers of all ages, including those who have never sung before (outside of their shower) are encouraged to try us — we think you may just end up loving it! All vocal parts/ranges are needed; sopranos, altos, tenors and yes, you basses too. We will be singing mostly the old, well-known  Christmas Carols — you know, the traditional ones you’ve been hearing and singing since you were a kid.

We dress in Victorian period costumes for performances — new members will be assisted in obtaining/fashioning their own.

Performances at various venues are now being scheduled (specifics to follow), but our first sing will be at the Foster Country Club as part of the annual  Christmas in the Valley event — we’ll sing on Sunday,  November 28.

Questions? email Carol and Steve at Nuvox@cox.net.

Come meet Jeeves and Wooster at our newest dinner theatre production.  Jake Wolf-Jensen, a Foster youth, has adapted this popular British comedy series for the dinner theatre to debut on September 18^th and 19^th.  Haven’t heard of Jeeves and Wooster? Well, here’s a little introduction:

“Based on the short stories by PG Wodehouse, Jeeves and Wooster is an engaging British comedy about young aristocrat Bertie Wooster, and his ever brilliant manservant, Jeeves. Whenever Bertie gets into trouble, whether it be overbearing aunts, unwanted engagements, or even Bertie’s rougish pals, Jeeves is always there to bail him out. Written in a clever, lighthearted style, Jeeves and Wooster is a surefire hit for the theatergoer with taste.”

Doors open for this catered event at 6pm on Saturday, September 18th and 1:30pm on Sunday, September 19th which will be held at the South Foster Fire Station on Mt Hygiea Road in Foster.  Be sure to mark your calendars and make your reservations early!  The murder mystery dinner theatre held in January sold out well before the show date. 

Reservations must be made by September 10^th by calling the Swamp Meadow Community Theatre Box Office at 401-397-4740.  Participation in this fundraiser is $30 for regular admission, $20 for children under age 10. BYOB
