Whistle Down The Wind (2003)

 Based on the books by Mary Haley Bell, this production has a very special place in the hearts of those who have been   

with Class Act from day 1. It was the first steps on our journey to success and we remember it with great affection.

Titanic - William and Mary’s Story (2004)

 This production caused quite a stir in the town when it opened in a blaze of publicity. 

It was Class Acts most lavish production  and certainly our most expensive. 

With a huge costume requirement and specially created original soundtrack, the play was a full year in   the making. 

Dark Harvest (2005)

David Wrightam’s supernatural thriller had the audience on the edge of their seats.  Dark Harvest had the most stunning set,

thanks to the Class Act Stage Crew.  A full ranch house, complete with roof was built on the stage. 

To make it a bit more interesting it also rained on the stage during one scene! 

Once again this was a beautifully costumed production, faithfully reproducing the period in which it was set. 

It was fun frightening the audience!

Holocaust - The Schonberg Story (2005)

The production of Holocaust was perhaps the most gruelling of all the plays staged so far.

Telling the story of a family of Jews in Poland during World War 2, it brought out some outstanding performances

which brought the audience to its feet every night.

Once again, David Wrightam pushed out the boundaries as he staged scenes actually inside the gas chambers at Auschwitz.

A Warsaw ghetto survivor who came to see the production said "These wonderful actors have brought history to life" .

You can’t get a better compliment than that!

Blackbird (2006)

Set in the mining community of Newcastle at the turn of the century, Blackbird was a gritty strong drama

following a family whose lives were torn apart by the miners strike of 1908. 

Authentic miners lamps were borrowed for this production, and the miners were really covered in coal dust! 

They even had to get washed and bathed on stage.  The Class Act stage crew produced the most ingenious moving set

and the most realistic brick walls!  Once again, stunning performances brought the audience to its feet every night. 

Without a doubt, this play was one of David Wrightam’s finest pieces and will be remembered for a very long time.

Shadow Of The Sun (2006 / 2007)

Set in a Japanese Prisoner of War Camp in Thailand, this production is Class Act at its very best. 

Once again every actor and actress threw themselves into the parts to produce some of the most moving scenes on a stage. 

Full body make up and specially made wounds gave a realistic touch to this drama, as did the amazing set

constructed entirely of bamboo.  Camp survivors once again praised the accuracy of the play,

based on the book To End All Wars by Ernest Gordon.  This is the only play that has been re-staged by public demand.

TITANIC, WILLIAM & MARYS STORY - 2007 - 5th Anniversary production

Re-drafted by David Wrightam, this is Class Act at its best as our outstanding actors bring to life the events aboard the ill fated ship on April 14th 1912. 

 Lavish costumes and gripping drama played to packed houses every night. Simply brilliant! 

THE DARK  - MARCH 2008

The Dark was something very different from our other productions and hugely successful. 

 Our very first horror story. It proved to be a seat-gripping 2 hours for the packed houses and

has been regarded as some as the best production so far.

BLITZ - JACKS WAR. OCTOBER 2008

Our nostalgic production of BLITZ - JACKS WAR  is our most technical production to date, incorporating sound track,

 slides and newsreel film from the period.  All this as well as controlling 15 stage microphones and a set that moved

 around to cover many different locations has been a real challenge to our crew. 

  As always, the Class Act actors proved that you dont get better than Class Act. A cheering packed house

 left the theatre with tears in their eyes..........nothing unusual there then!

HOLOCAUST - THE SCHONBERG STORY  APRIL 2009

The retelling of one of Class Acts finest productions was a huge success and received high acclaim from

all who saw it.  This moving story left the audience in tears and received standing ovations.

BACK TO THE 80s - OUR FIRST MUSICAL AUGUST 2009

This foot stomping very witty musical played to packed houses following our 2 week summer school.

With fantastic songs and a hugely talented cast who worked so hard, it brought the audience to its feet. The start of many more we think.......

WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND - JANUARY 2009 - JUNIOR THEATRE

The Class Act Junior Theatre staged their first production with this timeless classic directed by Robert Bishop who played

Johnno in our original version.  The play was brilliantly successful and the discipline of our young actors amazed the  packed

houses. A great credit to the hard work of the Director and his support team.

REVOLUTION - BROTHERS IN ARMS - March 2010

The most expensive production ever staged by Class Act was a huge success.

With special effects and a barricade that would have shamed the West End, the Class Act actors

 did a brilliant job in bringing history to life. The Grimsby Telegraph comment -

Class Act has scaled new heights in the presentation of captivating drama.

BOOGIE NIGHTS  - SUMMER EXPERIENCE - AUGUST 2010

Our Summer musical this year was a great success. Boogie Nights rocked and everyone had a great time. Our second Summer Experience and not the last.
