33 Oct. 19. 11 Eileen Chantry The Producers A rip roaring farcical show presented at the Embassy by STAGE was a laugh a minute with improbable and implausible situations.Embellished with strong leads, good vocal numbers and clever choreography.

32 Mar. 05. 11 Michael Dakin Lady Chatterley's Lover The set design was very interesting and seemed to represent the ring of repression that surrounded the characters. Sir Clifford (or was it Hugh Bonneville?) sexually repressed from the very beginning of his marriage, Constance, initially trying always to be the good and supportive wife and Mellors, with his chequered past and an intelligence really too high for the life he has fallen into. The effects of the war and demands of the class system as it was then, were all beautifully highlighted. The sex scenes were very sensitively portrayed and the lighting effects helped to make the whole thing quite hypnotic. Altogether it was a very interesting and thought provoking evening.

29 Feb. 6. 11 Eileen Chantry Viennese Strauss Gala We were transported back to the glamour and romance of Vienna at the Embassy Centre when soloists from major opera companies sang and danced their way through music by Strauss, Lehar and Kalman. A beautifully staged show.

28 Dec. 9. 10 Michael Dakin Annual Rotary Carol Concert U3A members enjoyed a night to remember as Compere Steve Walker presented group after group of talented youngsters who entertained with festive songs, dance and music. These were punctuated by carols, accompanied by the massed bands of Skegness Silver Band and the Skegness Grammar School concert band.

27 Nov. 18. 10 Jean Jacks Abba Foreever: Embassy Theatre U3A Members enjoyed an evening of a high energy show with excellent musicians. non-stop dancing, stunning custumes and most important the wonderful music of ABBA. The role of Ann Frida was played by Skegness Girl Harriet Shaw, and ABBA FOREVER is billed as the UK's leading Trubute Band.

26 Nov. 8. 10 Michael Dakin Beauty and The Beast Belle, whose father Maurice is imprisoned by the Beast (really an enchanted Prince), offers herself instead and finds the prince inside the Beast. Vibrant show. Enjoyed by all the U3A Theatre Group

25 Nov. 3. 10 Eileen Chantry Naked Truth: The Embassy Skegness The Naked Truth at the Embassy was a powerfully gritty play laced with humour and pathos and written with considerable insight. A group of ladies at a pole dancing class succeed in forging a strong bond as they gradually share their problems and despite numerous set backs achieve their goal of learning to pole dance and raising money for charity.

24 Oct. 22. 10 Eileen Chantry Swann Lake: The Embassy Skegness Swan Lake at the Embassy was a brilliantly choreographed production, the graceful elegance, fluidity and symmetry of the dancers coupled with the brilliance of Tchaikovsky's score all added to the rich tapestry of colour in this beautifully staged ballet with its stunning backdrops and superb costumes.

23 Oct. 17. 10 Michael Dakin Wyrd Sisters The Embassy The Skegness Playgoes brought to life Terry Prachett's play with a wicked Duke and Duchess, the ghost of the murdered king, a demon, a fool, dim guards and a land in peril, three witches endeavour to save the land from destruction. Enjoyed by our U3A members.

22 Sep. 13. 10 Michael Dakin Centre Stage: The Embassy Skegness The Janice Sutton dancers are always well choreographed, attractively turned out and above all, well organised. This performance was outstanding and all our members enjoyed the show. Briliant interpretation of the stage hits.

20 Aug. 19. 10 Michael Dakin Last Night of the Proms: Riverhead Theatre Louth The Yorkshire Volunteers Band - As well as music from the Shows, famous military marches and solos, the show featured the Yorkshire Volunteer Corps Drums performing the 'Victory Beatings' A great night was had by all! The show of Union Jacks was brilliant to see!

19 Jul. 26. 10 Eileen Chantry The Embassy Skegness: Lee Mead: Lee Mead took the Embassy by storm and had the audience on its feet as he wowed them with his vocal attributes and bubbly personality. The show was the culmination of the four day SO Festival.

18 Jun. 21. 10 Eileen Chantry Embassy Skegness: Murdered To Death,. A large house, an assortment of characters, secrets, lies and a spot of blackmail all added up to the perfect ingredients for murder. But who was the murderer? This was no ordinary who dunnit, it was an hilarious spoof on the murder mystery genre.,complete with Miss Marple character, or in this case Miss Maple.

17 Jun. 17. 10 Margaret Clarke Riverhead Louth: Play it Again Sam I really enjoyed this performance. It was a night of nostalgia, with a programme of songs from the shows depicting an age gone by. The Singers and Dancers were great, a night to remember.

16 Jun. 17. 10 Mike Dakin Riverhead Louth: Carousel A wonderful performance put on by the Louth Players. Enjoyable and a night not to be missed. The U3A members enjoyed the night!

15 Jun. 14. 10 Eileen Chantry Embassy Skegness: Snow White Ice Show Snow White on Ice was a breathtakingly lavish production encapsulating every facet of splendour and spectacle, from elegantly beautiful ballet movements to dazzlingly aerial displays. Thrillingly choreographed this captivating and electrifying show captured the beauty, comedy and darkness of this compelling story

14 Apr. 20. 10 Frank Mott Riverhead Louth: Brassed Off A wonderful show by louth players. The cast produced an authentic performance and interpretation of Brassed Off. Great!!

12 Apr. 20. 10 Eileen Chantry Thoroughly Modern Millie at the Embassy What a thoroughly stunning evening when Skegness Musical Theatre Company presented Thoroughly Modern Millie at the Embassy. The exuberant cast perfectly captured the Jazz and Charleston era.

11 Mar. 3. 10 Jim Mackley The Inside Job The Embassy Skegness Take a fast-moving script with three people, each one conspiring with the second to murder the third; take three professional actors and a wonderful set in a Spanish villa, add in a slick performance, spiced with humour and drama – bombs, bangs and blood. Result: a masterful performance, enjoyed by a good contingent from Skegness U3A.

10 Feb. 12. 10 Jean Jacks The Lion King, Lyceum, London. A party of 12 went to see the show. A spectactacular production with fantastic effects, stunning custumes and lovely music.Good journey with excellent seats. Dickinsons Travel 10/2/2010

8 Aug. 31. 09 Michael Dakin Barnum: Louth Theatre Barnum: American showman, businessman, and entertainer, remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the circus that became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. His successes may have made him the first "show business" millionaire. Fantastic Show. Thank you Bill, Well organised

7 Aug. 30. 09 Peter Brown Billy Elliot West End Lon When you put juveniles on stage and get them to do amazing feats, you’re almost bound to win over the audience. And it doesn’t fail on this occasion – there was a rapturous standing ovation at t
