Bussey Building charity theatre show seeks actors + volunteers


Recommended Posts

Hi ya, hope this is ok to post here...?

I'm putting on a fundraising theatre show at The Bussey Building on Peckham Rye.

I've been running these shows up in the 'West End' for the last couple of years but I wanted to go local this time round. It's always a good laugh and for an amazing cause. As an example - our last 2 shows gave a considerable donation towards making this happen: "Women who could not lift their heads six months ago, strutting across a stage."

This time we're hoping to raise money for local charity Bede House, which has had all its domestic violence funding cut and runs out of money in April. Hopefully we can help them survive for a little while longer. Also, some of our money goes to the V Day spotlight charity which this year is setting up womens refuges in Haiti.


I would really love for local people to be involved in the show, we need women for The Vagina Monologues and men and women for A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer - so if you know any actors who'd like to audition - all are welcome - amateurs and professionals, just drop me a line letting me know you're interested. Also looking for theatre crew who'd be up for volunteering and volunteers in general, we'll be needing ushers, flyering, and general activist fabulousness.

I've set up a Facebook page with some info here: www.facebook.com/vdaylondon

And interested parties can email me at [email protected]

Thank so much!

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
