Noticeboard
Have you visited the SJT recently? Whether it was to watch a show, have a meal in our Restaurant or buy something from the Shop we want to hear your comments...
New season
“Just got the new season booklet - 3 Alan Ayckbourns to look forward to. We haven't missed an Ayckbourn play at the SJT since 1990 - always sit on the front row and enjoy every minute. Well worth the round trip from Selby every time”
Welcoming cinema
“My partner and I visited SJT for the very first time last week - to see 'Sweeney Todd' - and I wanted to say how much we enjoyed the whole experience of the visit.
In particular, we were very impressed by the very welcoming and friendly staff - who also gave us a warm 'thanks for coming' at the end of the show.
Normally, like many Scarborians, we go out of town when we want to go to the cinema. But we are now making a point of visiting our own SJT as often as we can.
Thank you.”
Thanks to Becca
“I love the feeling of welcome one always gets at the SJT. Everyone gives you a genuine smile and really tries to make your stay enjoyable. I recently had even more reason to appreciate this care. During A Trip to Scarborough I had a coughing fit and fled, embarrassed, from my seat to the corridor, where I found Becca. She quickly brought me water, gave me her own paper hankie and assured me I had no need to apologize! With her help I recovered and enjoyed the rest of the play. Thank you so much Becca. You were brilliant and a credit to the SJT's first class reputation.
N.B. I enjoyed the play so much I returned the following night to see it again-without coughing!”
Last visit to SJT
“As always we enjoyed one of Alan Ayckbourn's plays on our last visit to the SJT. However, our pleasure was impaired by actors smoking right under our noses as we sat on the front row. The inclusion of smoking was gratuitous to the sense of the play and a bad example to any youngsters in the audience.”
An Evening With Ayckbourn
“Probably the biggest thrill of my young (?) life was meeting my idol, Sir Alan, during "An Evening With Ayckbourn" wherein he read passages from his book about playmaking. I had traveled from the USA to see this. When he took questions from audience, my hand shot up immediately, and I got to ask the first question: What ideas had he NOT gotten to yet? He spoke about his long-festering plan to stage "Ecraf" (farce spelled backwards), but admitted he'd probably never get around to it. I have visited the UK to see a total of six AA plays, including the Damsels. All of them have been unforgettable!”
A Thousand Years of Christmas
“My companion and I really enjoyed the show. It brought back happy memories from bygone years. Thank you so much!”
Frankenstein
“My first visit to the SJT, to see Frankenstein in November was fantastic! The cast was outstanding! SJT, be sure to book Love&Madness Theatre Co again next year!!”
Lisa's Sex Strike
“I visited the theatre for the first time last night to see Lisa's Sex Strike... and what a fantastic production.
Congratulations to everyone involved, it really was a mind-blowing evening!”
