THE Friends Of The Playhouse has released their upcoming events and activities for December.
Prior to the Christmas month, there will be a celebrity visit. On Wednesday, November 22, Paul Anderson will give an insightful talk on his life and his experiences as an actor and dancer.
Paul is best known for being the longest serving supporting extra in BBC's Casualty series. He started to play the character of Oscar in the late 1980's.
He will also tell some stories about his time as a disco champion in the early 1980's.
The talk, organised by The Friends Of The Playhouse, begins at 2pm in the Upstairs Bar of the High Street theatre.
After the event, attendees will be able to learn more in a Question and Answer session.
Tickets cost £6.50 for members and £8.50 for non-members, which includes tea and cake.
