Now that's what I call cool! Don't forget, you heard it first on The Art Lot Slot!

This year I'm starting a charity of the month and I will give out details of that charity during the show ... so if you want to nominate your charity, and post a comment on this blog.

This also means I won't have time to read a what's-on, so again, just post to your what's-on on the blog as a comment and I will make it live just as soon as I can. Pass the word around. Please!

The first charity, of course -- for those who know me, will be The Encephalitis Society ... the charity very dear to my heart. Check it out on www.encephalitis.info.

News flash four!
Painswick Players are planning to stage Alan Ayckbourn’s ‘Confusions’ on 6th, 7th and 8th May at the Painswick Centre. ‘Confusions’ consists of five separate playlets, which make a "charmingly observed study of middle-class marital anxieties", with a particular focus on loneliness and its effect on others. 

Auditions will be held on Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd February at 7.30 in the Cotswold Room of the Painswick Centre.   Rehearsals will be held in the Christ Church Hall in Painswick on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings (until April only two of these playlets will be rehearsed each evening).

Further details can be obtained from George Krasker on 01452 864175, krasker@gmail.com.




There are altogether 21 characters in the five plays (some can be doubled up) so there is plenty of scope for a large cast, writes George.
