Welcome
Edinburgh People's Theatre (EPT) are well known for presenting a broad variety of productions ranging from straight drama through to the fun of the Christmas Pantomime. Our year is based around a schedule of up to seven productions (including the Festival Fringe - 2008 will be our 50th year of participation), so there's always plenty going on for people to join in with, whatever their level of interest and experience. Details of our next production are listed below.
Greetings from our "Award Winning" President
My name is Irene Beaver and I am President of the club for the year 2007-2008. One of the things I like about EPT is that we don't have 'stars'. You might be the lead in one play but in the next you might be helping with props. After all, where would the actors be without all the Technical Crew, Wardrobe or FoH? I'll tell you. They would be on a bare stage in the dark, with no costumes and no audience. In fact there would be no EPT.
The year 2008 is a very important year for us as it marks our 50th year on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It seems fitting that the longest serving group on the Fringe is from Edinburgh and that we bear our city's name. It means so much to us to have performed Scots Comedy for all those years to our fellow Edinburghers as well as to visitors from all over the world who like to sample a little bit of Scottish culture in amongst all the International offerings. We hope that you will come along to our 50th Anniversary production of Stramash at the Store during the Fringe in St Peter's Church Hall, Lutton Place in Newington in 2008.
Thank you for hitting our site (I believe that is the correct expression). If you would like to join us or even just to have a look around our premises with a view to joining EPT please contact me.
To see what else Irene had to say, please see her President's page.
