2 THEATRESister Act, Avon Valley School, March 20 to 24Some of the area’s most talented musical theatre performers have come together for the first ever production from a new group based in Rugby. And they are kicking off their new venture by staging the fabulous all-singing, all-dancing West End and Broadway smash, Sister Act. The new company is called Interesting Theatre. Show director Alan Pavis said: “We’ve brought together some very special talent from all over the region for Sister Act – from Coventry, Leamington, Market Harborough and Birmingham, as well as from Rugby. They’ve been working incredibly hard with choreographer Sophie Jones and musical director Jon Watson on what is a fabulously lively and uplifting show.” Sister Act is based on the hit film starring Whoopi Goldberg and is full of gospel songs written by Alan Menken, who’s also the man behind most of the big Disney successes such as The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. Alan added: “It’s so exciting to be launching a new theatre company in Rugby. We already have some fabulous groups in the town – but there’s always room for more, and this was specialises in musical theatre.” The cast features well-known local performers Leah Vassell, as Deloris, with Kathy Evans as Mother Superior, Daisy Jones as Sister Mary Robert and Ash Bright as Curtis Jackson.Details: interestingtheatre.org
