FOLLOWING the success of All Together Now in March this year, a concert performance celebrating Settle Amateur Operatic Society’s journey through over 140 years of musical theatre history, Settle Musical Theatre and The Courthouse Kids - which together form SAOS – are once again joining forces, this time to fly Ian Flemming’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang into Settle during October.
It is an ambitious production and the whole company is enjoying the challenge.
As an operatic society SAOS has a long back catalogue of staging traditional musicals and operettas with Gilbert and Sullivan being a firm favourite, but recent performances by the adult members of Settle Musical Theatre have included more modern shows such as 9 to 5 and Sister Act.
President Freda Hargreaves has been involved in the society for most of her life: ‘I joined SAOS when I was eighteen and I have been a member for 75 years. It has been a huge part of my life and I’ve met lots of good friends through the society, including my husband."
Tickets for performances of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang October 25 to 28 can be purchased through the box office at: SAOS: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang — Settle Victoria Hall
SAOS is always looking to welcome new members.
