Peter Dedman, Chairman of The Dunmow Players, has teamed up with Paul Roberts Productions to produce the shows. The acts will be unseated gigs to allow for dancing, and there will be a licensed bar. Dressing up is welcomed but optional. Proceeds will be directed back into The Dunmow Players, a non-profit-making organisation, to fund their shows.
Peter said: ““I want The Dunmow Players to be known for not only their own shows but also for bringing entertainment to Dunmow.
“We won an award for Sister Act last year and we want to build on that success to produce even more lavish shows for the local community. The tribute acts will help to fund that vision.”
