Would you like to join in the fun of FEST too? We always need willing helpers for every show that we do. There's lots to do; building scenery, painting it, making or altering costumes, rehearsing the dancing, line rehearsals, preparing sound effects, planning and setting up the lighting, making the tea (very important!).
If you have talents that you would like to put to good use, and to be in an English-speaking environment while you're having fun, do get in touch with us - we´ll be happy to welcome you to the team!
Our next activity will be hosting the annual Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies from 13-16 May 2010. |

This will be the fourth time that FEST has welcomed other English-language theatre groups from all around Europe to the lovely Kurtheater in Bad Homburg. We have a special dedicated website which will give you all the information you need before spending a long theatrical weekend here.
For us it is an opportunity to see first-class theatre right on our doorstep, to spend time with old friends from other European cities again, to learn from the elucidating comments of our adjudicator each evening and to experience the excitement of the prizegiving on Sunday night.
For visitors to the city and participants in the competition, it is another chance to breathe the 'champagne' air of Bad Homburg, to enjoy its parks and other recreational activities and to soak up the atmosphere of the Kurtheater. Each night there will be three one-act plays performed by different groups. Their subjects will be diverse, their set designs entirely different, the pace varied. All these and other aspects of the performance will be commented and judged by Jan Palmer-Sayer, a member of the Guild of Drama Adjudicators in England, who will give us the benefit of her vast experience of performance and direction.
During the day, a Fringe Festival comprising of recitals, workshops and other smaller productions will be held nearby - there is no entry charge and the performances are open to the public. The final list of events will be published on the website, in our programme and also posted in the theatre foyer.
Tickets, programmes and other essential items are available now through our online shop here or can be reserved via our telephone hotline: 0151 5229 5530. Don't forget that for only €17 per night there are three different plays to be seen, all performed in English of course! Reserve your tickets early to avoid disappointment later!
Please note: reserved tickets will be held until 15 minutes before the performances begin at 19:30 each evening. Car parking in the centre of town is not always easy so please leave enough time to park and to enjoy a drink with friends at the bar before the entertainment commences. There will be no admission to the auditorium once the performances have begun.
CREW NEEDED!
EVERY PRODUCTION NEEDS MORE THAN ACTORS!We are always looking for volunteers, especially in the following areas:
Overseeing production budget, ensuring rights are obtained, arranging rehearsal space, arranging production meetings and coordinating the team. The amount of work that must be done is inversely proportional to the number of people you can get to help!
Overseeing design, printing and distribution of hard copy posters and flyers and electronic advertising (web site, email, links, etc.), possibly securing sponsorship, announce / advertise the show in (local) newspapers, online magazines, and generally liaise with media
Overseeing ticket and program printing, reservations, ticket sales and distribution/tracking of comp tickets, enlisting performance night ushers.
Anyone who has the time and energy to take on more than one of these tasks is of course welcome to do so, however, the more folks get involved, the less work for any one person. There are posters to be designed and printed, sets to be built, and ugly sisters to be made look their most horrendous ....
FEST NEEDS YOU!
