Made with Xara Our History... In 1965 a group of local enthusiasts performed a one-off show for a local school to raise money for new stage curtains. They had so much fun that they decided to put on a show on a regular basis and in 1968 the Curtain Raisers were born. In the early days the club was very much a family affair, involving local residents Alex Kerr, his wife and family along with resident pianist Betty Nicholson and her children, plus sister Irene who served as the club secretary for over 20 years. Onslow Village remains the home of the Curtain Raisers and we aim to perform in the Village Hall at least once a year. We are lucky enough to own 'The Barn', located in the village to house our props, scenery and costumes. Currently... Curtain Raisers are looking for members to join us to perform, direct, assist with front of house, back stage, design and art.  If you would like to try your hand at any of these, please give us a shout at the address below.  No previous experience required. We are also looking for people to join the committee so if you would like to join us, please let us know. Contact us
