Maskers Monthly broadsheet special issue for Southampton Show 9^th/10^th July 1971

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to The Maskers Open Air Theatre.We trust that you will find our programme of interest and, what is perhaps more important on such a relaxed occasion, of amusement.

The Maskers, in just three seasons, has become the most active amateur theatre group in the area, three of next season's major productions are announced, two others are in the discussion stage - a considerable number of other activities are being programmed, professional directors will work for us in the 1972 Season!

If you are interested in contributing any of your time, energy and talent, behind the scenes or front of house, on stage or off, please have a chat with us while you are at the Show.

Hiss the Villain! Cheer the Hero!. Relax while your children enjoy themselves! Eat your sandwiches while we take the opportunity of letting our hair down!. Delighted to have you………..for this Programme, and others.
