October 17th 2010....
Congratulations to Ed Creswick on the 'Rose Bowl' Award for Best Actor in a   Musical with his portrayal of  'Jekyll and Hyde' in our spring production.
Congratulations Ed on a well earned award.

I was extremely proud to receive the award and especially proud to represent Weston Operatic. I have been a member now for 23 years and so it was like winning a prize for the home team. I said in my speech that it was probably the happiest 3 months of my Musical career and working with Simon my long time school friend was the icing on the cake. I'm also very lucky to have a wife and family who supported me and put up with me not being around for 3 months. That's how I feel about it, Lucky to have had the opportunity of doing it, lucky to perform with such wonderful friends and lucky to walk away with a Rose bowl at the end of it all. It doesn't get much better than that.
Ed


Members of the Society were invited to Wells to perform in a concert entitled

Jekyll & Hyde has now completed it's run. It has been described as one of our most successful shows!
Although the audience numbers were disappointing those that did see the performances showed their
appreciation with standing ovations at every performance, almost unheard of, certainly for an amateur production.
