Welcome It’s Spring! I’ve been attempting to contain my optimism as we head into the season of rebirth and new life, after learning the hard way over the last 2 years.

But, it’s impossible to not let in a little bit of hope and happiness this year. It feels like there really is change in the air. For the first time since March 2020 we are seeing shows sell out, and a packed programme of music, theatre, comedy and dance with world class performers that runs all the way to 2023.

We’re still remaining vigilant against Covid with many safety measures in place, but it’s impossible not to get excited as we welcome audiences, old and new, back into The Roses.

However, there’s one area of our programme where we need your help. Hidden behind the headlines about record-breaking figures for Bond and Spider-Man, cinema going has crashed by 70% compared to pre-pandemic levels.

There’s nothing like being at the cinema. The thrill and sense of immersion in a story and place cannot be recreated at home even with that shiny 64" TV. I encourage you to get back in front of our 30ft box of joy, rediscover the magic of the big screen and #SaveCinema. You can always find our latest films online.

Finally, a huge thanks to everyone who has supported us, visited us, and volunteered with us over the last 2 years. Because of you, we’re thriving!

An Update It would be hard to deny that 2021 wasn’t extremely challenging at The Roses. Unlike 2020, where retrospectively, it feels like lockdowns were something of a luxury in terms of coping with Covid, in 2021 we’ve had to work at full pelt while dealing with a worsening pandemic culminating in the huge financial impact of Omicron on our Pantomime.

However, we are truly grateful that 2021 was really defined by our success. In October we were one of 11 organisations out of 925 nationally to be awarded extra money from the Culture Recovery Fund. £467,000 will go towards transforming the customer experience of The Roses including a new website, improved Front of House area and a refurbished studio and event space.

Thanks to Tewkesbury Borough Council and Central Government grants, we also have a large grant to set up and launch a new community department, Get Creative,

Panto was a success, but the threat of Omicron took a toll on final numbers

and a new youth group, Roses Young Creatives. We’ll be focusing on reaching young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and helping develop the next generation of creative talent.

We'll be heading back to Victoria Gardens this year, with another original production - see page 23

This has really helped bolster our ambitions for 2022. This year we’ll be developing three new shows as well as launching our first regional tour. We also want to refurbish our backstage area, which is firmly stuck in 1974 (when The Roses was built), and we also need to replace our end-of-life cinema projector.

We wouldn’t have got through the last 2 years without the support of you, our audiences; donors, and supporters. We are also blessed to have a very committed and loyal volunteer team, who save The Roses thousands of pounds every year by acting as ushers, café and bar assistants.

A huge thank you to all of you from everyone on The Roses' team. xxBox 4 BoxOffice: Office:01684 01684295074 295074

Film at The Roses Cinema is changing.

As the arts and entertainment industries slowly recover some semblance of normality as society emerges from the pandemic, cinemas are still struggling to attract audiences back to the big screen.

This is perfectly understandable. We have all become used to having to find entertainment at home, and the on-demand era has now made it all too easy to make this the default option for an evening's entertainment even now we all have the freedom to choose.

Whilst audiences for live shows at The Roses have bounced back with glee, our film audiences are still much lower than they were two years ago.

We know that listing all the films in this brochure used to make life easier, but in order to be responsive to changing release strategies, it is no longer practical for us to programme more than a few weeks ahead.

This does, however, allow us to and bring you the most popular and acclaimed films much earlier than had previously been possible, so you won't have to wait too long to see them as the film makers intended - on the big screen!

We sincerely hope that if you previously enjoyed film at The Roses, you will choose to come back. 2022 promises a wealth of new releases, and we plan to show as many as we can!

Luke Daniels Luke is a virtuoso musician and singer who performs classic folk songs alongside traditional tunes.

Luke has been touring since the mid 1990’s with Riverdance, De Dannan and Cara Dillon but from 2012 released four critically acclaimed albums of his own songs. Revolve and Rotate in 2014 used a restored Victorian polyphon (music box) that played his own unique accompaniments to classic folk songs such as Canadee-IO.

HARVEY

by Mary Chase

Tewkesbury Arts and Drama Society (TADS) celebrates a long-awaited return to the stage with this inventive production of Mary Chase’s classic comedy.

Since their mother’s death, Veta has been living with elder brother Elwood in the old mansion he inherited.

She aspires to social acceptance and seeks a good marriage for her daughter, but Elwood’s behaviour is getting in the way. He drinks, plays cards, mixes with riff-raff, but worse than anything: his best friend is a six-foot white rabbit that nobody else can see.

This charming comedy of psychiatric errors asks the question, just who is sane in an insane world?

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited.

Direct from a week long run in London’s West End at the Vaudeville Theatre, a SOLD OUT Worldwide tour and standing ovations at every performance, The Simon & Garfunkel Story is back!

Keith has performed this concert in theatres and arts centres across the UK, giving over 500 concerts to close to 150,000 people. This has proved to be one of the greatest honours in his 40 year career.

Using huge projection photos and original film footage, this 50th Anniversary Celebration also features a full live band performing all the hits including Mrs Robinson, Cecilia, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Homeward Bound and many more.

WARNING: This show contains Ninjas, not magic. Card Ninja is a show like nothing you’ve ever seen before!

Riotous fun and a sweep of high-flying card tricks can only mean one thing; Javier Jarquin, otherwise branded as Card Ninja, is back in town.

Expect deadly and risky fun as he performs his extreme card-flicking stunts.

Using genuine playing cards, comedian Javier Jarquin dazzles audiences with displays of decks as weapons.

Extreme precision, impeccable timing and astonishing speed/distance – you will not believe what you’re seeing.

“Brilliantly entertaining performance” The Edinburgh Reporter

Spiers & Boden

Totally Tina

Described by The Guardian as ‘the finest instrumental duo on the traditional scene’, Spiers & Boden first rocketed onto the music scene in 2001, quickly winning a clutch of BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and going on to form and front the extraordinarily successful folk big band Bellowhead.

Come shake a tail feather with the UK’s supreme Tina – Justine Riddoch – and her talented cast of dazzling dancing girls in sequins, feathers and diamonds.

Rich Hall's Hoedown Deluxe

The duo reformed in 2021 after a seven-year hiatus, arriving with a brand new album ‘Fallow Ground’ which went on to reach number 3 in September ‘21’s Official Folk Albums Chart and was a Mojo top 10 folk album of 2021.

"It’s all exquisitely played – the pair are still the dons" The Observer

This breathtaking recreation of a live Tina Turner concert celebrates the golden anniversary of the Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll’s signature tune Proud Mary. Tina’s noholds-barred take of the song established a reputation for fearsome live performances – and those never-ending legs!

She’s got the looks, she’s got the moves, but most of all, she’s got THE voice. Join an army of loyal fans for a truly authentic, fun-packed musical spectacular!

Ever-evolving, ever-changing, Rich’s combination of keen acerbic stand-up combined with spit and sawdust altcountry lyricism is a “win-win” (Guardian). Fans keep returning because this show goes where other comedians wouldn’t dare: Barrow-in-Furness for example.

Rich’s acclaimed BBC4 documentaries and his Radio 4 series Election Breakdown have established a whole new legion of followers. He’s also a stalwart of QI and Have I Got News For You. Gut-busting, rib-tickling, toe-tapping, and sh*t-kicking, Rich Hall’s Hoedown Deluxe covers the full anatomical spectrum.

Jazz Music

Cate Cody “I’m old-fashioned...” sings Cate Cody in a hauntingly beautiful voice that has been compared to a young Peggy Lee. She might well be describing herself, because these days it’s very rare to find a jazz chanteuse with such authentic phrasing, who genuinely understands the nuances, and is capable of capturing the idiomatic gradations and modulations required to swing.

Following the success of (Almost) A Midsummer Night's Dream in Victoria Gardens last summer, The Roses' team is delighted to bring you the next in the (Almost) franchise.

Local writer Nick Wilkes is back at the helm with another unique twist on classic literature - with the focus this time being on Robert Louis Stevenson's swashbuckling tale.

For this special session, Cate is delighted to be accompanied by Tom Kincaid (currently pianist for Elkie Brooks) and double bassist Tom Mark, both the first choice of many musicians.

The trio will be performing an eclectic mix of gems from the 1920s to the 1950s.
