Our name is Stage 27 and we are an established Group that started in the 1950's (previously named the Stanley Theatre Group as a tribute to a previous member), initially at the former Birmingham Theatre Centre in Islington Row and more recently at the Old Rep Theatre. We were the first Amateur Society to appear there with our production - Noel Coward's Present Laughter.
We recently performed a two-act performance at The Old Rep Theatre - Key for Two, a humorous tale of farce and deception which was received by an enthusiastic audience in May 2006.
Our next production will be taking place on the 9th, 10th and 11th November 2006, at the MAC Hexagon Theatre at Cannon Hill. It is a 'Three For One' Production - a performance of three, one-act Plays each evening. Two of the Plays (A Bit of a Sticky Wicket & The New Dress) have been written by two of our own members, two American Actors/Directors who recently joined Stage 27). A Bit of a Sticky Wicket kicks off the evening with a tale of mistaken identity, secrecy and a loyalty to the British past. The New Dress has been inspired by the work of Virginia Woolf, and captures the author's unique and haunting style perfectly. The third and final Play is The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley, by David Tristram. The third of a hilarious trilogy, The Fat Lady tells the story of the well-known amateur dramatics group stationed in the enchanting village of Little Grimley, and the comical dilemmas that the group face in trying to plan their next production whilst fending off neighbouring competition from the GUNADS. Fans of Tristram's first two plays of this trilogy will be well familiar with the chaos and hilarity that ensues. With some promising young actors gracing the stage, the night is sure to be an entertaining, humorous evening.
As a local, longstanding Birmingham Group, we are dedicated to attracting new audiences, new members and the resources to continue staging many more successful productions and keep the Stanley's name and reputation very much alive.
Tickets for the production are £6 (general rate). The performance begins at 7.30pm each evening (the audience can arrive from 7pm).

Primarily this is because the law in nearly all countries around the world is failing our children.
We owe it to our next generation.
Please read about Sarah's law.
Sarah's Law would give parents the right to controlled information about the whereabouts of predatory child sex offenders living in their area. It would enable parents to safeguard their children by contacting police in order to obtain details of high risk paedophiles who are known to reside within their local community. This information would be strictly controlled by police and there would be strong penalties for anyone who abuses the information. Sarah's Law is NOT a call for unrestricted open access to the Sex Offender's Register. In June 2006, Home Secretary John Reid announced plans to formally investigate the introduction of Sarah's Law, saying: "I start from the position that information should no longer remain the exclusive preserve of officialdom. "I believe the public have the right to protection and they have the right to information"
"Its all about a parent's right to protect their child, a child's right to be safe.
"If it just saves one child from sex abuse, and the lifetime of nightmares that often follow, then I'm afraid its worth all the inconvenience in the world for the paedophile."
We have to keep this cause in everyone's mind as these terrible crimes against children happen far too often.
We need vigilance not vigilantism.
We Can't Change the Past - But We Can Definitely Shape the Future.
