Tonight sees the return of our Show Choir after being on zoom for countless weeks.
Monday night saw the return of our Panto Welcome night for our 2021 Production of Goldilocks and The Three Bears in December!

It is time to dust off your favourite costume, slap on the greasepaint and step out that front door once more to do something….stagey! We have picked Monday 19th July to get together at Preston Musical Comedy HQ to have a brew (hot and cold beverages are all covered by “brew”) from 7.30pm.
Subject to the Covid Roadmap following its set route we will be able to gather in person, share our experiences, laugh a little, cry a little then sit down as we let you know our plans.
We are bringing a little bit of Yorkshire to Lancashire as we tell you about our 2022 production of “Calendar Girls – The Musical” by Tim Firth and Gary Barlow. It is set for June 2022 at Preston Playhouse Theatre with multiple roles and a score you won’t stop singing.
Following on from that at 8.30pm it is Panto Welcome Night. This year we present Tom Whalley’s Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Come along and find out all about the show, meet the creatives and find out all the roles available. You will find audition times and pieces and have a chance to discuss everything required. There are 12 principal roles to fill plus a senior chorus.
This traditional family pantomime is on at the Playhouse Theatre this December from 10th-21st and is our first full production following Lockdown. It is definitely time to get up and shine and what better way than a full on pantomime.
So the date is 19th July and the venue is Preston Musical Comedy Society HQ, Unit 1 Pittman Court, Pittman Way, Fulwood, Preston, PR2 9ZG

A little bit of Yorkshire is coming to Lancashire

A little bit of Yorkshire is coming to Lancashire in June 2022
Preston Musical Comedy Society are delighted to announce their 2022 production of this amazing musical from the pens of Tim Firth and Gary Barlow.
The death of a much loved husband prompts a group of ordinary women in a small Yorkshire Women's Institute to do an extraordinary thing. Blasting away all preconceptions of what it is to be in a women's institute, they decide to do an artistic nude calendar to raise money for charity. Upturning preconceptions is a dangerous business and none of them expect the emotional and personal ramifications, but gradually the making of the fabulous and funny calendar brings each woman unexpectedly into flower.
The true story of the Calendar Girls launched a global phenomenon, a million copycat calendars, a record breaking movie, stage play and musical written by Tim Firth and Gary Barlow which coined the term "craughing" - the act of crying and laughing at the same time.
With unforgettable songs, every performance continues to add to the millions already raised for charity and also prove that there is no such thing as an ordinary woman. The production will run from 8th-11th June 2022 at Preston Playhouse Theatre
There will be further details at the social event on July 19th with a full welcome evening later in the year.

Roll up! Roll up! The Circus is in town! This yea

Roll up! Roll up! The Circus is in town! This year Preston Musical Comedy Society are presenting their traditional family pantomime with a production of Tom Whalley’s “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”
Dame Gertie Dollop runs the show with her son, Silly Billy but they have fallen on hard times. Particularly with the dastardly Ringmaster Heinkel, owner of the rival circus, up to his old tricks. Dame Gertie needs a miracle after their honeypot of pennies is accidentally stolen by three porridge hungry, talking bears.
We are looking to cast this wonderful show – our first major post lockdown production. So if you want to get back on the boards then this is the chance. There are 12 speaking roles from hero to baddie with a dame, three bears and a lively chorus in the mix. To find out more come to the welcome event as part of our social evening on 19th July starting at 7.30pm. You will get chance to meet the Production Team and get audition details
Find out about the big top pantomime that's just right!
(subject to Covid-19 regulations)

We are taking you back to 1958 when Preston Musica

We are taking you back to 1958 when Preston Musical Comedy Society produced the popular musical "White Horse Inn" at Preston's Gaumont Theatre (now the sadly closed City Centre Odeon Cinema on Church Street). Featuring a stellar local cast it was a sell out success and here is that cast - with a slight crease on the right!

2014 saw a production of Annie that wonderful musi

2014 saw a production of Annie that wonderful musical of a poor orphan seeking her parents. She is taken in for Christmas by a rich business man who learns to love the little girl as if she was his own daughter and puts up a reward to find her real parents.
Meanwhile the orphanage matron - Miss Hannigan - with her scheming brother and his girlfriend plot to take the reward by masquerading as Annie's real parents.
There are butlers and maids, orphans, down and outs and even the POTUS (President of the United States) makes an appearance. It has political comment, sadness, happiness, comedy and some fantastic songs - "Easy Street", "Hard-knock Life", "You're never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" and of course "Tomorrow"
The show has a large cast and we had some amazing costumes and set. Enjoy remembering.

We are going back to the 80s today and a rehearsal

We are going back to the 80s today and a rehearsal of Oklahoma in 1984 - you know the one where the wind comes sweeping down the plain and you can go out in your Surrey with the fringe on top.
Were you in it? Did you see it at the Charter Theatre back in 84? We would love to know. Not long until we can entertain you again
