CLACTON & NORTH EAST ESSEX ARTS & LITERARY SOCIETY
	The 98th season of the Clacton & N.E. Essex Arts & Literary Society opens at the Princes Theatre, Clacton, on 15th October at 7.30 p.m. with the first of sixteen presentations on Monday evenings during the coming autumn and winter months.  The cost of a season ticket for all 16 performances is £27.00, less than £1.70 per evening.   The programme will include eight musical evenings ranging from the serious - a fourteen piece strong orchestra which opens the season, an evening of Grieg, and a string quartet which will play Haydn to the lighter - a Christmas Concert by the Holbrook Choral Society, Neapolitan favourites from The Three Other Tenors from Welsh National Opera and Rosemary Ashe in her one-woman cabaret, to the positively amusing Demon Barbers Quintet and Ain’t She Sweet by the Charleston Chasers. There are some big names in the programme - Barry Cryer, Andrew Sachs, Fred Dibnah and Sir Bernard Ingham to name but four and their presence gives some idea of the variation the season offers.  And there will be audio visuals and illustrated talks on subjects as different as journeys along the Rivers Wye and Severn to a round-the-world trip on horse-back!  Or you might care for “A taste of India” or an insight into instruments that have been created especially for the theatre - the scope is extraordinarily wide.  But the standard of each evening will undoubtedly remain high - that is what attracted 846 members last year. Why not give us a try?  Entrance for an individual evening costs £5.50 (subject of course to the availability of seats).  Applications for season tickets may be from: our Membership Secretary (01255 422469), Local libraries, The Princes Theatre or The Tourist Information Centre, Clacton.
