Members of Wimborne Musical Theatre Society (WMTS) have been desperate to get back on stage after the last 18 months and they have put together a really cheerful show.

“An Injection of Happiness” is a musical celebration of 40 upbeat songs to help wash away any blues you may still have. There will be numbers from musicals, from film, and from TV, and some inspired comedy as well.

WMTS have been an active musical theatre society since the late 1970s and their talented members are all from around the local area. They have performed regularly in concerts and musicals for many years in Wimborne at the Tivoli Theatre with great success and acclaim, and now want to take their shows into a wider area for audiences to enjoy.

For the first time, they are performing at the Merryfield Theatre in the Verwood Hub on Saturday 23 October for two performances, a matinee at 2.30pm and evening at 7,30pm.

Then they are at the Minster Theatre at the Allendale Centre in Wimborne on Saturday 20 November again for 2.30pm matinee and 7.30pm evening performances.

Seating will be arranged cabaret style with bar facilities available to give the shows more relaxed feel.

Tickets are £12 as standard and £10 for senior citizens (over 60) and children (under16)

Sylvia Walpole, the Society’s chairman said: “It is wonderful that we are back in rehearsals. What makes it extra special is that we are singing and dancing to such uplifting songs and taking our shows to new venues, the Merryfield Theatre in the Verwood Hub and Minster Theatre in Wimborne.”
