LAMS flocking together for its next hit showproduction

LAMS young cast already getting ready for their big show later this year

An American musical comedy set in the swinging 60s, this international smash hit musical features the infectiously feel-good songs Good Morning Baltimore, Welcome to the Sixties, You Can’t Stop the Beat and Big, Blonde and Beautiful.

The show, a hit on both the stage and the screen, won’t be staged until March but LAMS is already well into preparations.

Once again, that major local employer, Border Biscuits, has come forward with financial suppport for the group through it Community Fund.

As usual, there is to be a charitable cause which will benefit from the LAMS annual show, this year Alzheimer Scotland being the chosen cause.

They will be holding fund-raising activities during the show’s run at Lanark’s Memorial Hall, expected to start on Wednesday, March 18.

Advanced sales of tickets have already reached 1000!

The society, with some weeks to go to the show, is, as ever, on the lookout for fresh local talent to join them either on stage or behind it.
