SHOESTRING THEATRE STANDISH

                  creating Drama for a Crisis

Presenting

 

Shoestring Theatre (sometimes called Shoestring Productions) was conceived in April 2005 by three friends (as always, over a glass or two of wine!). The Co-conspirators were Jean Stone (left), Shiela Lucas (right) and Viv Newman (centre right).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The aims were twofold:

 

• Re-introduce Amdram Productions to the local  community in Standish (Nr Wigan, Lancashire)
