30 Years of Fun - an Invitation

We've made 'em laugh,
We've moved to tears,
We've given them a taste of fears,
Been doing this for 30 years...

Yes, 1981 saw a revived Helsinki drama club take to the boards and since then the Finn-Brit Players has mounted so many shows that we've lost track of many of the wonderful people who made it all happen. So as a former or current member we would love to see you at our 30th Anniversary Reunion, to be held in Helsinki on Saturday, 24th September 2011.

There are now hundreds of names on our cast list and we'd need Carnegie Hall to accommodate everyone. So please help us to find the appropriate venue by replying as soon as you can, whether you can or cannot come. A simple Yes or No is enough for now.

We estimate the price to be 20 - 25 euros per head.

We shall also be extracting something else from our guests - an optional performance. A short piece, a song, an extract from a play, a poem, a joke, a solo or an ensemble ... it's up to you but a maximum of 5 minutes.

With available space so restricted we really do need to move fast to book a suitable venue, so please do reply to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. as soon as possible, but by July 31 at the latest. A full invitation with all the details will follow.

Hope to see you at our 30th.
