Thank you, anonymous Guest, for refreshing this thread on 4th July ! I never cease to be amazed by the wonders of Mudcat. I wasn't around here when this thread began, and would have missed it.

Reason for my excitement ? Well, fresh from our "theatrical triumph" this week in a Peter Skellern musical, my junior drama stars and I are already talking about what to do next year, and by strange fluke what I'd been thinking of was Old Time Music Hall a la "The Good Old Days".

So.... Steve, Mr. Happy and others: any and all "I say, I say" jokes (suitable for 7 -11 year olds and their parents, so I don't get the sack !) gratefully received. I'm starting to collect them as of now.

Likewise, I'd be glad of any suggestions for "acts". Does anyone, for instance, know exactly how that very old routine goes : "Busy bee, have some honey just for me" where someone is conned into having someone else spit water out all over them ??

Thanks for the link to the Players Theatre. A company that no-one has mentioned yet on this thread is the "Hiss & Boo Theatre Company", who also tour with Music Hall shows www.hissboo.co.uk

Thanking you, ladies and gentlemen, in anticipatory delight for your phantasmagorical, pulchritudinous propositions...

your own, your very own
