Paperbelle’s world is black and white and she likes it that way.

She’s heard of colour but would prefer things to stay as they are.  The colours on the other hand, want to play games as they want Paperbelle to join in.

Paperbelle's world is changing.  Will she try to stop it or might she find it’s not as bad as it first seemed….?

An enchanting theatre performance for children aged 2-5 years set in a magical world of paper.

East Kilbride Rep Theatre Group present 'Laugh? I Nearly went to Miami'
by Miles Tredinnick
Producer Alan Davie

When Tom Weals, an Elvis fanatic, and Alice his fiancée are unable, due to fog, to fly to Miami for an Elvis Presley Convention, they arrive back at Tom’s Essex flat to find that they have inadvertently picked up the wrong suitcases at the airport and are now in possession of half a million dollars.

Further confusion arises with the arrival of, firstly, Tom’s flashy brother Barney, who is hoping to use the flat to seduce Muriel his latest girlfriend and is none too pleased to find Tom at home, then Alice’s eccentric Auntie, with a bag containing $20,000 (a wedding present for Tom and Alice), then Frankie, a thug working for the owner of the suitcase dollars, whom Tom and Alice assume is a member of the local constabulary.

A zany and fast moving comedy of confusion

‘Fermtouns to New Toons’ – Let’s Celebrate Lanarkshire

There is much to celebrate in South Lanarkshire - our beautiful landscape, the industry and buildings that have shaped our towns and villages, our communities and the people who have made a difference locally and internationally. And, our new exhibition ‘Fermtouns to New Toons’, at Low Parks Museum in Hamilton shows just how diverse and interesting our people and our landscape are.

South Lanarkshire had many diverse industries throughout the area from fruit and tomato production in the Clyde Valley to lace-making, coal mining and shipbuilding which led to the development of many of the towns and villages in South Lanarkshire.

This exhibition, as part of the 'Celebrating Lanarkshire 2013' project and brought to you by South Lanarkshire Leisure & Culture’s Museum service and South Lanarkshire Museums Forum, highlights aspects of our shared past, through the people, places, traditions and objects that help to tell our story.

Part funded by Museums Galleries Scotland, ‘Fermtouns to New Toons’ was developed as part of the ‘Celebrating Lanarkshire 2013’ project and is open from 28 March 2013 until 26 January 2014.

Scottish Photographic Circle Exhibition 2 - 30 June 2013 10:00 - 20:00 East Kilbride Arts Centre Free admission

The Scottish Photographic Circle was founded in 1907 at a meeting by a group of enthusiastic artists. This was to be an historic meeting at which it was agreed that a society be formed to promote Pictorial Photography in Scotland by means of exhibitions, lectures and discussions on art.

The Scottish Photographic Circle is a unique organisation not only in terms of its quality of work, diversity of styles and background of its members, but by its ETHOS of ‘Membership by invitation’.

The original criteria set out over one hundred years ago was to limit its numbers to forty members, who are able to recognise the standard of work of members of other clubs and societies, male and female, to be sufficiently high as would benefit the Circle.

We are delighted to have this opportunity to exhibit a range of work by current members.
