Title page from the theatre programme for a production of "Brigadoon" at the Hippodrome Theatre, Keighley, staged by Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society in October / November 1955.
Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society's production of "Brigadoon" played at the Hippodrome Theatre in Keighley for six nights (with a Saturday matinee) from Monday 31st October to Saturday 5th November 1955. The musical was written by Frederic Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner. The KAODS production was produced by Maive Hewson from Ampro Productions in London, with musical director R. Lewis Scargill.
The story of "Brigadoon" concerns two American tourists, Tommy Albright (played by Frederic W. Pye) and Jeff Douglas (Keith Marsden), who are holidaying in the Scottish Highlands. They stumble across an enchanting (and enchanted) village, called Brigadoon, that doesn't appear on their map. A wedding is due to take place between Charlie Cameron (Arthur Sunderland) and Jean MacKeith (Marjorie O'Hara), whose sister Fiona (Brenda Wilson) Tommy has taken a shine to. Fiona introduces Tommy to schoolmaster Mr. Murdoch (Arthur Day) who explains that the village vanishes into the Scottish mists for 100 years at a time, reappearing for just one day at a time. This spell will be broken should any of the inhabitants leave the village for good. As Fiona cannot leave, Tommy contemplates joining the community but is persuaded by Jeff to return to New York. Once back there, Tommy changes his mind but on returning to the Highlands he finds Brigadoon has vanished again.
Other people in the cast included Geoffrey Rundle, Leonard M. Stockdale, J. Derek Lee, Elsie Greenwell, Alan Park, Hildred Hoyle, Keith Ingham, Margaret Dibb, Ernest Marsden, Reuben P. Drake, and Joyce E. Reddihough. The show also featured swords dancers Terry McGee and Peter Christie, and pipers Stanley Fox and John Bentley.
