MEMBERS of Horwich RMI and District Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society are following up last year's award winning production with My Fair Lady.

And a new stage is set to play host to the group.

Last year's show, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, won the Best Musical category in the annual BEN theatre awards.

But not content to stand still, the company will be turning the spotlight onto the Albert Halls' stage for its next production.

This will mark a debut performance for the group on the Albert Halls' stage.

My Fair Lady will run from May 21 to 25.

The production team will feature the successful combination of Marje Brayshaw as director and choreographer, and Steve Sandiford as musical director.

A spokesman for the group said: "With the show currently enjoying a successful run in the West End with Martine McCutcheon and Jonathan Pryce, the society will have a lot to live up to. But we are determined to pull out all the stops for our debut at the Albert Halls, and create a stunning production."

The first rehearsal will be held at Horwich Parish Church Hall on Chorley Old Road, Horwich, 7.45pm, on Tuesday, November 20, with auditions to be held the following Wednesday, November 28.

The spokesman added: "All singing, dancing actors are welcome."
