Hang:10
We had an absolute blast last month at Protea’s Hang:10 short play festival, sharing the stage with our friends from RLT Productions, Startime Players and of course Protea Stage Productions. A big thank you goes out to Mark and Carole Worrell for hosting the social and prizegiving which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Congratulations to all the participants and winners, including our very own Franklin members who took home Best Director (Ashley Nader), Best Supporting Actress (Emily Sebago in Family Planning), Best Chemistry (Daniel Solomons and Liam Christensen in Making Friends), and Best Blooper & Recovery (To Halloumi and Back). We look forward to taking part again next year.

It is nearing the end of the year (can you believe it??) which means it’s time once again for our AGM which will take place on Sunday 2 December @ 12pm at the hall. Only paid-up Franklin members can attend and the necessary documents will be emailed to our current members in due course.
Light snacks will be served so please RSVP your attendance as soon as possible in order to assist with catering requirements.

RLT Productions
RLT Productions extends its heartiest congratulations to everyone who took part in Protea’s Hang:10 Festival. It was a fabulous experience and a wonderful opportunity to yet again work with old friends and get to know and network with groups with whom we would otherwise probably have very little contact. We wish everyone a hearty ‘break-a-leg’ for their year-end productions and look forward to working with them all again in 2019. Follow RLT on Facebook.
