Last few tickets for Canary Girls
Going, going, gone! Just a few tickets left for “Canary Girls”, a play written by Mikron Theatre. Mikron Theatre wrote, produced and performed the specially written “Raising Agents” show last year in honour of our centenary celebrations. Friends and family very welcome.
Full details are on the attached flyer. Canary Girls Poster If you are interested, please let us know how many tickets you would like (ignore the closing date): ticket requests to mhwimikrontickets@gmail.com (not the usual MHWI email!)
Friday 10th June at 7.30pm. Harborough Evangelical Church, 121 Bath Street, Market Harborough, LE16 9JL
Tickets are £12 full price, £10 concessions (student/retired/unemployed). Hot Drinks and Cakes will be on sale.
Just to tempt you even further, here is a little more on the storyline:
CANARY GIRLS:
Summer 1914.
Sisters Rose and Lizzie work as maids, a world of deference, bed-making and poor pay. When war breaks, adventure-seeking Rose becomes a shell worker, persuading her procedure loving sister Lizzie, to follow her to a world offering more money, exciting work and union activity. It seems like a new start.
But as the sisters discover the dangers of shell work, they realise their dreams are pulling in opposite directions.
As old and new worlds collide on the factory floor, each sister must ultimately decide, which takes more courage – following your dreams, or giving them up for the ones you love?
Funny, heartfelt and tender. Mikron presents a tale of two sisters well and truly at war.
Craft night – what to bring with you
Remember to sort out an old book and a few buttons for our meeting on Wednesday 25 May. After discussing the WI Resolutions for 2016, Leicestershire Craft Centre will be showing us to make these cute little flowers. (You can share an old book with a friend as you will not need all the pages.)
Resolution night and craft night
A reminder that our next meeting is on Wednesday 25 May. We’ll be looking at WI Resolutions for 2016. For the craft activity, please bring along an old book and some buttons.
Help with Canary Girls
Your help is needed, please, with the Mikron Theatre’s performance of Canary Girls on Friday 10 June, so that we can make it as much of a huge success as last year’s event. Please email: marketharboroughwi@gmail.com if you can help with any of the following:
- help on the night setting out chairs
- serving refreshments
- help at the end tidying up
- 2 parking attendants between 6.30 to 7.30 pm (the Evangelical Church is on Bath Street close to the the industrial area, so if you can help direct cars, or have a partner who can do this), let us know
- 5 more cakes needed
Craft fair success
Thank you to everyone who supported this event: making items, having a stall, helping to plan and run the event and by just popping in on 16 April. We made £150 for MHWI funds.
We hope this will be just the first of our craft fairs. We learned some things, too, and will be working on these for the next one.
Again, many thanks everyone!
