A short history of Phoenix Musical Theatre We formed in 1985 and did our first performance of The King and I at the Barrington, Ferndown in 1986. This was seen by Bournemouth Arts Council and we were asked to perform it at the Pavilion Theatre, backed up by them. Full scenery and hired costumes extended to cast and dancers. One of these was Louise Bale, sister of Christian Bale, who is now a famous actor in the United States. Christian was in the audience and was captivated by the magic of theatre as a small boy, watching us! Margaret Coltman, a founding member, is still very much involved within the company with her daughter Marie, who’s directing South Pacific. Please get in touch if you’d like to join us. To buy tickets for South Pacific, please go to www.theallendale.org/ box-office or visit the Allendale during Reception opening hours.
