A Production based on some Parables from the Bible. Music written and composed by Carol and Paul Clayton. It comprises, hilarious sketches, dancers, gymnasts, a large choir and numerous musicians. All Profits to benefit two charities, ie; Water Aid and East Coast Hospice. This promises to be an exciting show. Tickets are selling fast.
Parablenalia explained
The team of people who brought Blessed Be to you in 2008 have decided to take the time and effort to repeat the process with a new show entitled Parablenalia “The Circus of Life”. The choir, actors and stage team have arrived to the rehearsals from many different walks of life; some from churches in the area, a factor which we consider vital to the success of the show. The script has been written by Rachel Clarke and the music by Carol Clayton with dancers from the Norfolk Academy of Dance.
The motivation behind the show is to provide the audience and participants with an enjoyable but thought-provoking evening of entertainment at Gorleston Pavilion from the 16th to the 19th March at 7.30pm. The title Parablenalia explains the roots of the storyline; some parables have been adapted from Bible stories, others are freshly-written, exclusively for Parablenalia and provide sometimes a light-hearted insight into ourselves and the way we approach life, others are deeply thought provoking and allow us to consider our role in helping others. The charities which will benefit from the entire profits of the show are the East Coast Hospice and WaterAid. The East Coast Hospice is an independent local charity aiming to build an inpatient hospice combined with a day care centre close to the A12 between Gorleston and Lowestoft which will serve the people of the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area. WaterAid uses practical solutions to provide clean water, safe sanitation and hygiene education to the world’s poorest people The sketches in the show link to the charities of choice; in the case of WaterAid we see the problems faced by those people who urgently need help from charities like WaterAid, and for the East Coast Hospice a very moving sketch portrays the responsibilities of the carer which acknowledges the vital role they play. The main theme which is carried throughout the show is that we can all make a difference and the actors are repeatedly throwing this out as a challenge to members of the audience.
With numbers apparently declining in many churches in the area, this show aims to bring Church out from the church building and provide an opportunity to examine some aspects of the Church and other Christian faiths by providing an entertaining and enjoyable show which has a strong take home message of “make a difference” which is surely the main aim of many faiths and religions?
Tickets are available from Gordon Smith on 01493 665374 for £6 and £5 concessions

What a huge shame that the concert given by the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne last night at St.Nicholas Parish Church wasn’t better advertised. The musicians were superb and their pleasure in performing was an absolute delight to watch. The programme was wonderful – Antonio Vivaldi, The Four Seasons, Summer and La Notte; Mozart, Salzburg Symphony; Tchaikovski Elegie; Bach, Suite No2 in B Minor; and Paganini, Moses Variations. The Chamber Philharmonia chooses for its repertoire highly demanding pieces of popular and unknown works “to inspire people across the world to enjoy classical music”. Though there were not many in the audience, they certainly showed their appreciation. The accoustics are good in St. Nicholas and the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne include Great Yarmouth in their annual tour – so something not to be missed next year!
