Saint Monica's Players

SMP (Saint Monica's Players) is a north London theatre company based in Southgate/Palmers Green who have been producing musicals, pantomimes and plays for 50 years. If you want to do amateur dramatics in Enfield, we're the best am dram group around.

There will be an SMP members-only social on July 12th for us to kick back and enjoy the sun with the show behind us. We'll be starting in Broomfield Park, possibly with some olympics and definitely with a few beers, followed by a legendary SMP BBQ at 7pm in Cannon House's garden.

SMP will be hosting a quiz night on Friday 24th July, starting 7:30pm, at the Scout Hut (Tile Kiln Lane). Tickets are £5, which includes a little boogie at the end. Please bring your own booze, snacks and as many people as you can find.

The quiz is general knowledge and you can make your own team or join one on the night. Everyone - non-members too - is invited!

"I've just seen a West End show at a local Theatre - it's the best Friday night out I've had for ages and I'll definately be booking seats for Panto."

Yes, that's what one audience member said. It was a super show and we'd like to thank all the back-stage crew, front of house helpers and sound and lighting guys for all your help. Have a look at our photos of Disco Inferno if you want to see just how spectacular it all was.

We've booked the Bounds Green scout site, Scout Park, for SMP's 2009 summer holiday, Camp innit. It's happening Friday 21st - Sunday 23rd August and holidayers can stay in a tent or in a bunk-bed. You can reserve your spot by speaking to David Bowman at rehearsals. The entire weekend only costs £30, which includes food! Have a look at photos from SMP's 2008 holiday and the official website, if you still need convincing. This year's theme is Chav, so you'll have to have a chav costume for the Saturday night.

There will be an SMP dog race night on October 3rd at Tile Kiln Lane scout hut. Anyone who attended last time will know this is a funny and energetic event, especially the special race at the end of the night (special race video here).

We've lined up Robin Hood, written by Warren McWilliams, as next year's pantomime at the Intimate Theatre.

A large number of bookings are already in and you can now do the same. Ring 0844 414 2731 or email tickets@smptheatre.co.uk as early as possible to get the best seats - beware, our panto always sell out! The read-through and audition is set for the last week of August, so keep it free if you want to give it a shot.

Zombie Prom! SMP members voted between the Wedding Singer, Summer Holiday, Footloose and Zombie Prom last night and, by the slim margin of three votes, Zombie Prom won the honour of being our summer 2010 musical. Zombie Prom is extraordinarily popular in America with an outstanding original score and we know it will be a success here too.
