A THEATRE group is celebrating its highest-ever ticket sales following its move to online.

Most audience members purchased their tickets for the Somborne Players’ performance of Aladdin online. The group is also working on a website.

Chair Rebecca Rickard said: “We sold more tickets than ever so this must have been more convenient to many. Thanks to Cross Stores who also sold tickets for those who preferred this method.  The pantomime was also advertised online, thanks to Roger and the Somborne Cinema.”

The amateur dramatic group also now has a logo and a Facebook page so Rebecca is keen for more people to follow.

The players have assured that they will continue using the Gauntlet and other traditional methods of publicity to keep in touch.

The summer production is underway, with details yet to be revealed. For more information email contact@somborneplayers.org.uk.
