​Depressing isn’t it? The everyday news that never seems to get any better. But help is at hand. The English Theatre Company offer you a solution. We prescribe a dose of our comic relief. We aim to banish the blues, make you smile and even laugh out loud.
 
How about some geriatric dancing – yes, really! Our tribute to the unique humour of Victoria Wood; a criminal cat; songs to pull at your heartstrings and the introduction of a very special young lady who is joining us for the first time. And of course, much much more.
 
Yesterday we were in rehearsal bringing all the acts together. Some of us wearing our costumes for the first time and a motley crew we were. Flair and imagination gone overboard! As the dates of our November performances approach with lightening speed our rehearsal schedule increases until suddenly it’s opening night. The overture is about to start …
 
Our box office is taking bookings for all four of our venues. Boudrac on 9th November at 12.00 noon; Marciac on 10th at 3.00 pm; Lectoure on 16th  at 3.00 pm and Ste Dode on 17th at 12.00 noon.
 
If you would like to spend an afternoon with us, please book as soon as you can by phone: 05 62 06 37 14 or by e-mail: etcmadmoments@gmail.com.
 
So, what depression?  Do join us.

Our revue has singing, dancing, comedy, pathos and, with our final song, fierce pride and emotion. But most of all we are offering laughter and fun! Technical and dress rehearsals start next week for the 18 cast members, ready for the first performance on Saturday 9 November.

Don't forget we are performing Mad Moments in four locations; and we're trying out two new formats as well as our usual theatre lunches to go with the 75 minute show.

At Marciac our start time is 3.00 pm and we are ringing the changes after the show with a delicious selection of home made cakes – as many as you can manage – all washed down with Cava.
​
At Lectoure, because there is no provision for refreshments in the theatre, our performance begins at 3.00 pm. Plenty of time to enjoy a good lunch before the show.

Theatre with lunch is at our regular home in Sainte-Dode and, further afield than we've travelled before, at the Salle des Fêtes in Boudrac – both are a 12.00 pm start.

The cast and crew look forward to seeing old friends and new.  Come and join in the fun!
