A call has gone out to all former members of the Dockyard Revue Players.
Two of the Players, Janet Robson and Lesley Brown are hoping to get the former members of the DPR back together for an evening of memories and nostalgia.
The Dockyard Revue Players were formed initially in 1969 for Devonport Dockyard employees, their families and friends and the aim was to give a high standard of entertainment and to maintain a friendly but committed amateur dramatic society, staging a pantomime and musical show each year.
Joan Mutton ran the DPR for a number of years along with her husband Brian, putting so much into producing outstanding shows.
Everyone was made to feel welcome whether appearing on stage or working backstage. Long standing friendships were made which still exist today, years after the curtain had to come down on DRP.
Janet said:
“To have past members and friends together again for an evening would be magical, to remember times past and laugh over the things that inevitably went wrong in any production.
“We are planning to hold the reunion in early 2023, which will give us time to organise the venue and other arrangements. Anyone who would like to know more about the reunion should contact either myself on 07854 850830 or Lesley Brown on 07402 648920 as soon as possible.
“So we are calling out to all former Dockyard Revue Players to get out those tights and the panstick and get ready to reminisce about those pantos and shows that we all remember.”
