Carlisle Green Room Club’s first offering of the new year brings a breath of broadway to West Walls Theatre.

After a successful year of productions from Carlisle’s most established amateur theatre group, they are back with a bang in 2018. Forget the January blues, the group’s production of moving comedy, Broadway Bound is set to bring the perfect concoction of tears and laughter to audiences later this month.

The last in a trilogy of plays by America’s most prolific playwright, Neil Simon, Broadway Bound tells of his first struggles to break into the world of radio and television comedy and is the latest in a number of his plays to have been presented on the West Walls Theatre stage over the years. Audiences have continued to enjoy his ‘one-liners’ as well as being moved on many occasions by the serious side of his writing and directed by John Metcalfe, this production promises to thoroughly entertain.

Something of a Green Room Club stalwart, John has been a member of the group since before he moved to Carlisle over 50 years ago. His most recent directorial offering was with 2016’s hugely successful A Chorus of Disapproval for which he was nominated for Best Director of a Drama at the National Operatic and Dramatic Association awards.

This leaves us with little doubt that Broadway Bound will be yet another five-star production to tread the boards at West Walls.
