Taya is currently rehearsing the part of Constance, Nora Batty's niece, in the forthcoming production of Last of the Summer Wine.

This will be staged at Trusthorpe Village Hall, from April 12 to 15. Tennyson Amateur Players came into being in the 1980s based at the now demolished Tennyson High School in Mablethorpe, while Sutton Theatre Company dates back to 1947.

Both companies enjoyed a long history of performing plays, variety shows and other entertainment at venues along the Lincolnshire coast.

Their many highlights include Fawlty Towers, Mrs Brown’s Boys, Calendar Girls, ‘Allo ‘Allo, STARS Unlocked, Ladies’ Day, plus variety shows, pantos and murder mystery evenings. With several members performing for both societies, in late 2019 a decision was made to amalgamate and pool the wide range of talents and resources to form the Sutton and Tennyson Amateur Repertory Society – STARS.
