Hello! Members are back at The Pavilion! Woo hoo😀🎉 This is our first play reading since COVID-19. Hosted by Bernard Teuben the group featuring Penny, Gina, Ben, Jason and Michelle read War of the Worlds. Socially distanced of course it was wonderful to just be there.
Wow this is great! Was in there last week doing greenroom painting. Nice to see theatre stuff being done.
I would have loved to have seen/heard this. But it is uplifting to see some of my CHP friends getting back together. Any theatre activity, even informal, is sadly still a long way off down here in Melbourne. But the 1812 Theatre here had scheduled to do War of the Worlds this year before Covid invaded. I am hoping they will be able to reschedule it next year. Best wishes to you all.
Misisng my Theatre visits so very much! ☹️
Was it only for members and not for subscribers?
I 💖 this post sooo much !!!
At last - well done - miss you loads 🤗🤗😷
Looking forward to attending a performance soon
Great news!

Organisers of Jersey Day are determined not to let COVID-19 restrictions stop them promoting organ donation on Friday September 4.Remember that play when the creepy woman appeared from under the stage and made the first row scream? Today's look back into the not-too-distant past is 2010's "The Woman in Black" with Paul Cashman, Peter Rhodes and a surprise appearance from Leigh Scanlon as the titular woman. Adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from Susan Hill's novel and directed by Paul Sztelma.
Great play that still gave me a real fright even though I'd seen the movie. Loved it!
Another memory - heavy rain caused water to inundate the area beneath the stage and our Woman In Black had to lie in wait on a rather soggy mattress! Now that is suffering for your art!
Very scary
I remember. Brilliant
Omg
Great memories
Another funky trip back in time - to 2010's "Butterflies are Free". Directed by Faith Jessel, starring Jessica Patterson, Gavin Jamieson, Elizabeth Gilbert and Todd Beilby.
Saturday 15 August 2020 marks the 75th Anniversary of VP Day. Many members and patrons of Castle Hill Players served in the WWII campaign and saw active service in the Pacific region and beyond. There will be several commemorative ceremonies held, although with Covid restrictions the public is unable to participate. We take this opportunity to salute our service personnel and thank them for their commitment, bravery, and courage. Lest We Forget.
A COVID testing unit has set up at Castle Hill Showground in the carpark at the rear of the Pavilion Theatre. With recent positive cases in the district it has been recommended by the state government that those of us who may have come into contact with the virus be tested. It is understood the test is a simple procedure with waiting times varying, depending on demand but averaging around 30 minutes, during which you remain in your car. Take care everyone.
Castle Hill Players are proud to congratulate two well-known and generous members who have milestone birthdays this year: Jean Churchward is celebrating 90 years; and Judi Burgess has her 80th later this month.
Firstly, let's take a look at some of Jean's (90 years young) on stage contributions to our theatre. Towards Zero, 2017's Calendar Girls (left of photo), and 2008's Dinkum Assorted.
Some of Judi's (80 years young) on stage contributions to our theatre include 1976's The Killing of Sister George (Judi on left), and 1978's The Heiress;
May you both have happy and healthy birthdays filled with love from family and friends, unforgettable moments, never-ending joy, and happy, happy memories. Congratulations, and we all wish you both many more beautiful days ahead. No matter how old you get, you seem to be forever young.
Thank you to Maureen Cartledge for photos and archival information.
