The Sound of Stage & ScreenOne of the stars of the show, Jason Thorpe started singing when he was only 5 years old, even at that age he was a performer, and won a family holiday. He was hooked on performing, and went on to throw himself into musical theatre, and resulting on making the final 26 in channel 4’s Musicality from 2000 contestants. Last year Jason entered another competition, The Voice of Broadway, 7 contestants competed their way week on week with a final 3 singing for the title and prize of gigs and time in a recording studio.

Since the win last year, Jason has performed at the Fireplace Sessions multiple times, formed a singing duo with Tabitha Wild (Wet & Wild) - who regularly perform at A-Bar and The Zone. His credits include; Seymour in Little Shop Of Horrors, MC in Cabaret, Cosmo in Singin In The Rain, Schlomo Herzenbaum in Fame, Scarecrow in Wizard of Oz, Motel in Fiddler on The Roof, Bobby in Chorus Line, Otto in Grand Hotel, Silly Billy in Jack & The Beanstalk and Idle Jack & King Rat in Dick Whittington.

The Ladykillers - Coming in 2017FHODS will be kicking off 2017 in style with The La-dykillers. This brand new adaptation of the classic Ea-ling comedy by the writer of Father Ted only finished professionally last year, and is sure to be another smash hit at The Tower Theatre.

Posing as amateur musicians, Professor Marcus and his gang rent rooms in the house of Mrs Wilberforce, a sweet little old lady. The villains plot to involve her, un-wittingly, in a heist job. But who will be forced to face the music?

The Ladykillers will be committing dastardly crimes at The Tower Theatre on February 15-18.

Far from the Madding Crowdis perhaps one of the most endearing and English of Hardy's novels. It tells the story of the young farmer Gabriel Oak and his love for and pursuit of the elusive and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene. Her wayward nature however, leads her into the path of the dashing Sergeant Troy ‘…the past was yesterday; never, the day after’ and the introverted and reclusive gentleman farmer, Mr Boldwood, whose love for her fills him with ‘…a fearful sense of exposure’ culminating almost inevitably in both tragedy and true love. Hotbuckle have gone from strength to strength, and after moving from Surrey to a Shropshire base in 2013, we will be touring with Far From the Madding Crowd in the Autumn.

Date : 12th November 2016 at 7.30pm

CinderellaJoy of joys, the pantomime finds itself all cast and rehearsals about to start. Here is a list of the principals for this year’s production. We have in addition another 80 chorus, dancers and Junior chorus this year. It promises to be a bumper show in of so many ways, all set in a winter wonderland and with the magic of Christmas.

We are pleased to announce that John Pritchard and the delightful Mike Nolan are back bringing their own particular brand of mayhem to the Tower Theatre stage. They will be supported by a strong FHODS cast including Carmen Tyrrell as Cinderella and Alfie Murray as Price Charming. This year there are 45 juniors taking part, the group ever. The usual technical team are in place with lighting maestro Guiliano Bocca, Choreographer Claire Beddow , Andrew Hedges leading the band, Dan Tomkinson creating the musical sound and John Pritchard writing the script and Peter Heselden directing.

All guaranteed to bring joy and happiness in time for Christmas.
