Forever Friends

RITA WITH LONG TIME FRIEND GILL TONGE

Rehearsals begin on the 6th September 2010 and we'd love to see you there!

Rita Whitelaw joined the society some thirty years ago after moving into the area with her husband.

Rita had appeared on stage with her husband Robert before joining New Rosemere in an attempt to save money as a young married couple, as members of Robert's works Gilbert and Sullivan society had the privilege of half price drinks in the club.

Moving to Bolton and joining New Rosemere, Rita's amateur stage career flourished with Principal roles in Pirates of Penzance, Iolanthe and Yeomen of the Guard. Rita made lifelong friends amongst our ranks including our chairman, Gill Tonge and Life Member Pat Killeen.

But New Rosemere is not just for acting and singing! In 2006, Rita stunned audiences with her staging of 'Iolanthe', winning a coveted N.O.D.A (National Operatic and Dramatic Association) award.

Thirty years after those early appearances at Walmsley Parochial Hall, Rita appeared in 2009 in Patience and had a wonderful time and great fun with people she loves and cherishes...

So how about it?
