Sunday November 25, 2018 at 1pm – Whose Life is it Anyway? After Show / Algarveans Early Christmas Party – venue to be confirmed
Last year we combined the after show party of our November show with a Christmas get together and it proved to be a great success. After the thanks and back slapping early on we settled into an afternoon of dancing and impromptu karaoke and what fun was had! So, we thought we would do it all over again. All cast, crew and Algarvean members and friends are invited to come along and wish each other a great Christmas before we all start to dispatch across the world or settle in for the festive season here on the Algarve.
Closer to the event numbers will be confirmed to help with the catering. There will be a charge for this event.
We really do hope you will join us and support these events to enjoy fellowship with like-minded people who love theatre and entertaining the Algarve. We look forward to seeing you there and having a laugh!
