Enables IFA’s like nearly every other person of a certain generation know all about the hit BBC comedy series 'Dad's Army' which ran for nine years from 1968 until 1977, then ran, and ran, and ran on TV repeats. The much loved show spawned a full length feature film, a radio series and a musical stage show and now Bishops Stortford’s very own Water Lane Theatre Group production. At auditions recently they said on Twitter @WaterLaneTG - Big turnout for our #DadsArmy audition - watch out for this one - it's not what you're going to be expecting!!!!
Enable has agreed to sponsor this delightful local production of Dad’s Army and Mike Cooke from Enable will even be appearing in the theatre show himself. When asked Mike said “ Enable are delighted to be sponsoring a Bishops Stortford production of Dads Army by Water Lane Theatre Company and it looks like I have landed myself a part!! (Stupid boy!!)”
Water Lane Theatre Company is the only amateur Theatre Group in Bishop’s Stortford and they have been performing plays for over 60 years. Every year they put on at least 2 main shows at various locations in and around the town. If treading the boards is not your thing you can still get involved as an audience, they always have a lot going on whether it's a night of one-act plays, a theatre trip, comedy and variety nights, an improvisation evening or their really popular annual quiz evening. To find out more you can check their website for details.
