Stand strong Southport
News
As a Society involved in our own community in Preston we were devastated to hear the news coming from Southport over the last few days. From our connections with many performing societies in the Southport area we know what a strong, caring and supportive community it is.
We send our love and support to our fellow performers and the wider Southport Community as we know you will stand together and care for each other. Our deepest love and thoughts are with the victims of the tragic attack, their families, the local heroes who stepped up and the emergency services who responded.
Stand strong Southport – you are loved and respected. We stand and applaud your courage.

The Addams Family Now On Sale!
The Addams Family - Now on Sale!
Tickets now available for our 2024 Musical – The Addams Family!
Hundreds of years ago, the Addams family ancestors came from the old country and settled on a plot of land in what is now New York’s Central Park. This was, of course, long before it was a park, when it was still wilderness. The family flourished for many generations, and eventually, a huge house was built where a great Spanish oak, the Addams Family Tree, had been planted to protect the ancestral graves from such annoyances as sunlight and tourists.
THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family– a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before– keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
