SUMMARY:Abingdon Operatic Society presents 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'
DESCRIPTION:In April 2025\, Abingdon Operatic Society will be debuting ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ at the Amey Theatre in Abingdon.  This promises to be a magical week for cast\, crew and audience\, so make sure you grab your golden ticket! \n‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ is a musical based on the 1964 children’s novel of the same name by Roald Dahl\, with book by David Greig\, music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.  As most of us know\, it tells the story of Charlie Bucket and his desperate search for the golden ticket that will enable him to enter the secretive Chocolate Factory of Mr Willy Wonka. \nThe show originally opened at the Theatre Royal\, Drury Lane in June 2013 and almost immediately broke the West End’s record for ticket sales – a record it still holds.  It ran until 2017\, when a reworked production moved to Broadway.  It is this Broadway production that was licensed for international touring productions and\, later\, amateur theatre. \nToday\, there are professional tours across the US\, UK and Australia\, but at AOS we have been lucky enough to fit our production between tours\, which allows us to create a brand new production for Abingdon! \nPerformances are from Tuesday 8th – Saturday 12th April at 7.30pm\, with an additional 2.30pm Saturday matinee\, at the Amey Theatre\, Abingdon\, OX14 1DE. \nTickets can be purchased at www.ticketsource.co.uk/abingdonoperatic

SUMMARY:Exhibition: A Geologist's Guide to Abingdon
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition will provide some background and context to our many fossil finds in the collection\, starting with an introduction to rock strata and how they were discovered by William Smith over 200 years ago. \nAbingdon stands on a layer of Jurassic rock called Kimmeridge Clay. In that period\, the continents as we know them today had not formed yet\, and Abingdon was submerged in a shallow sea. This is why most of the fossils found in Abingdon are of marine creatures. There were some coastal areas nearby\, though\, as proven by the finds of dinosaur footprints at Ardley near Bicester.\nWe also put Abingdon into the context of other rock strata from the Jurassic period which are present in the wider Abingdon area\,\nand how they can be observed in the landscape. \nThis exhibition will go up in the Sessions Gallery of the Museum. In May it will be joined by a second display in the Attic\, showcasing recent fossil finds here in Abingdon. \nFree Admission
