Lark in the Park

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Lark in the Park this year. It was a brilliant event with entertainment from the wonderful Karen Danzig, along with her super Del Sol Singers and, of course, the comedy play written by Sheila Mellor, Kate Jackson and Sandra Mole. The whole team did an amazing job. We are so grateful to the Town Hall in Benahavis for letting us use the park yet again.

We presented a cheque to Aspandem for 1.850€ and we made another 1.350€ for the ITS Building and Equipment fund. Here is a photo of the presentation with representatives from Aspandem and ITS.

Four Old Broads by Leslie Kimbell

A Rehearsed Play Reading

Please book online now for Wednesday 9th July 2025 at El Trapiche Cultural Centre in San Pedro. This is our last production before the summer close down.

Andrea Stevens will be making her directorial debut with us. She is an experienced producer, choreographer and director. She only joined ITS this year.

She has chosen an hilarious comedy set in America called “Four Old Broads” written by Leslie Kimbell. Four sassy ladies need a break from bingo and macramé. They want to take a Caribbean cruise. Unfortunately, things have not been pleasant in the care home since a nasty nurse came to work there. A mystery unfolds with laughter as the old girls try to outsmart her.

Andrea has a fabulous cast with Paul Baker, Sue Hall, Margaret Dunkley, Mary Cooper, Fiona Poole, Katie Rowlands and Samantha Weaver.

Fiona Poole is also the producer for this show, and Paloma Salgado is stage manager.

It is a rehearsed play reading with full costumes, music, lights and props but a minimal set. Scripts maybe referred to.

Tickets are on sale now via our website and are 13€ for ITS members and 15€ for non-members. Doors open at 7pm and curtain is up at 7.30 pm.

The venue is not licenced, but we will be organising a donation bar outside as usual. And maybe some blinis!

There is ample free car parking around the centre, but this is rather ad hoc, with some formal car parks, some on street parking and several dirt spaces. Please arrive early so that you can park easily. They are building a new car park, but this will not be ready until after this event.

All parking locally around the centre is free of charge.

Auditions
Sunday 20th July 2025 at the Age Concern Centre in San Pedro at 12.30 pm

Our new season

After the auditions, we are closing temporarily for August. But we are back with a comedy play reading evening on Wednesday 10th September 2025 led by Peter Brooks.

We are dressing up in 1960s holiday outfits and we would love you to get involved too!

More details to follow but please reserve the date.

We wish you all a wonderful summer!
