DARWEN Library Players' annual open night and recruitment evening next Monday is an invitation to visit the studio and meet the cast and crew.

Brenda Coughlin, of the players, said: "We are involved in much more than the usual plays and performances.

"We are a pro-active troop who, through our sister group Playing at Murder, entertain at various locations with our ever-popular murder mystery nights."

New members of all ages and experience are welcome to join the group, especially in the 18 to 30 age bracket.

The open evening will feature a small sketch by members, plus refreshments. It starts at 7.15pm at Tower Studios, 6b Market Street, Darwen. For more information, call Craig or Richard on 01254 705850.
