WELCOME & INDEX

A warm welcome to our first brochure of 2024 We may have just finished one pantomime, but it’s never too early to book for the next one! Sleeping Beauty is already on sale, along with some other really great family shows. These include The Amazing Bubble Man, Alice in Wonderland, Spot’s Birthday Party, Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book and Pop Princesses.

Our programme includes tributes to Tina Turner, Queen, Franki Valli & the 4 Seasons and The Rolling Stones. We also have a return appearance from Paul Potts, who made history as the first ever winner of Britain’s Got Talent.

Following an acclaimed London run, we are very proud to present The Billie Holiday Story featuring Nina Kristofferson, which was described by The Times as ‘hypnotizing, captivating and electrifying’.

And West End star, John Barr, brings us his show based on the life of the legendary Lional Bart called It’s a Fine Life.

Comedy is as popular as ever and Live at the Radlett returns in both February and May with separate line ups. We are also pleased to welcome evenings with Jarlath Regan, Chris McCausland and Ashley Blaker. There is also a hilarious new show that is perfect for people who love, hate or are completely indifferent to William Shakespeare called You’re Bard. Expect anything with that one.

We are also having all of our auditorium seating replaced and upgraded this month, so please come and try it out!

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL AMATEUR THEATRE COMPANY Tues 5th – Sat 9th March 7.45pm + Sat Mat 2.30pm Tickets: £22 (Concessions available on Tue and Sat Mat. £18) Addams Family the Musical” is a comedic production that revolves around the iconic Addams family, known for their macabre and eccentric lifestyle.

When Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, falls in love with a seemingly “normal” young man, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. As the families come together for a fateful dinner, hilarious chaos ensues, challenging the traditional values of both families. The musical explores themes of love, family dynamics, and acceptance, all woven into a delightfully entertaining narrative.

ART EXHIBITIONS FEBRUARY DOWNSTAIRS

MARCH & APRIL APTHORP GALLERY

Eva Edery

Pratibha Mistry With an abiding love for colour and nature as her driving force, Pratibha embarks on her creative journey, titled “Unspoken Visions of Brightness,” to capture the unspoken beauty that thrives within the natural world and the depths of the human spirit through her poignant artwork.

‘Awakening Emotions Through Glass Art’, 1-29 February 2024 Eva Edery, Glass Artist, returns to celebrate her 12th anniversary at the Radlett Centre.

She will be exhibiting her signature fine art with glass including her popular ‘Tree of Life’, ‘The Journey’ and ‘Finding the Balance’ series as well as her new compositions combining glass and resins. Her pieces are bold and timeless and she welcomes commissions. Eva is looking to provide unique experiences with glass art and will be offering guided tours of the exhibition.

For details, please visit www.evaedery.com

APRIL DOWNSTAIRS Jeff McGee Another fun exhibition from Jeff with his mosaics.

JANUARY & FEBRUARY APTHORP GALLEY Artist Neil Wax currently expresses his ideas through painting, while Simone Bloom expresses hers with collage, but what links their work is a strong emphasis on narrative, with the written word often integrated into or accompanying their art.

“We feel that every picture should tell a story – and those stories illustrate our personal journeys as well as our dreams about the world we live in.”

MARCH DOWNSTAIRS Bricket Wood Art Society ‘A varied collection of work including painting challenges make up our art display this year.’

MAY DOWNSTAIRS Andrea Koss Andrea has been drawing and painting in some form for most of her adult life and is pretty much selftaught.

Her art is enjoyed by children of all ages and she believes you are never too old to have a picture of your favourite animal on your wall.

She likes to produce work that makes you smile when you look at it.

She is available for commissions.

Facebook and Instagram @dizzydaisystudio andreakoss18@gmail.com MAY UPSTAIRS Ann Wignall Beautiful Faces and Beautiful Places Anne’s work reflects her love of people and special places. Mainly working in acrylics and pen and wash.
