Some pictures of recent events

Christmas cheer

Sunday the 13th Dec we held a Christmas Open house. There was quite a big turn out and as they say "a good time was had by all."
Two different children s groups performed as well as our carolers, and there was a very funny "Good King Wenceslas " skit.There was also lots of festive food and drink, thanks to our various sponsors.

Hello again

So sorry we have been so silent on here. Well what's new with us? Heather is now living in sunny Mexico .We miss her greatly but know she is happy there. We love you Heather!
The "4 horsemen" are in the barn so to speak. We are not performing so much on the streets now(Brrr) so its a good time to upgrade our props and work on our plays so we can be sharp and ready for the spring onslaught.
Oh and with Christmas around the corner we are busy witnessing and hopefully bring the real meaning of Christmas to all we meet.

Weep with us...

Weep, Oh World! The Four Horsemen Team has lost a dear, dear member - well, several in fact...

Simon and his family have departed for South Africa!

Simon, we miss you more then you can possibly know. It's down to you that the dream and fledgling idea of the Four Horsemen was enacted - we couldn't have done it without your drive, vision and enthusiasm!
You and yours will be greatly missed.

(Observe moment of silence here...)

At least he left us Sam...even if the plays will never be the same without Simon improvising during fight scenes and scaring us all to death :P.*sobs*

I have to stop now.

I See Love!

More where that came from...

The Highlands...

Our team and the awesome friends who put us up (and even joined in on the fun)

Sooo...the Four Horsemen road team got back from a ten-day gig in Scotland on Monday, and it's taken me a whole week just to get some pix your way...

But I have prevailed :).

I didn't go on the road trip (which included a eight day stay in Edinburgh performing at the Fringe Festival and two days in Glasgow) but apparently it rocked! I've yet to twist the boys' arms and have them write up all the juice, so I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Phil as Money

The Four Horsemen in action!

Josh and Cate moving with the flow in the Everything skit

Anna Strutt 'strutting' her stuff as Fashion :P

War meeting his end

Phil Strutt striking fear into the audience as Death

More to come, so stay tuned!

PS: We want to take this moment to say a HUGE thank you to our friends Peter, Lily and family for putting up our team and being such a huge help and support! You guys rock!)

Of Updates and Soundtracks...

Well, what's been going on this end recently?

Sam's at summer camp in South Africa, so it's just as well Faye learned his lines (she got to put them into action last weekend in Kingston, woo hoo!). Cate's in Washington at the moment for a family reunion, so once we have our team back together, Edinburgh is a green light!

Thought I'd post the soundtrack to the Four Horsemen play here - and yes, that's the full, unabridged versions of the songs we use for the intro and fight scene!

Just a bit of background on these lyrics: The book of Revelations talks about four horsemen that represent different elements fighting for control of the world in the final days before Jesus' return. War, Death, Greed and the fourth horseman... Jesus of course (cuz he's the shizz :D).





And in this one, we hear the actual text quoted from Revelations about the Battle of Armageddon, in which the Lamb (Jesus) brings an army down from Heaven to kick the Beast (yeah that would be the big bad guy) back to hell and bring peace on Earth.

Three Horsemen and a Lady....

GAME ON

Been practicing a lot recently as there's a fair bit of role-swapping going on.
For example, Faye is being trained as Sammy's protege in the role of Death (that's right, all - another female horseman!).

(Apparently she plans on killing them with kindness?? :P)

Phil (a dear old friend who's become a temporary addition to the team) is donning Money's cloak...

All gearing up for a big road trip in Edinburgh this summer (still don't have those details for you guys, but bear with me! All will be revealed...once it's solidified that is. You know how temperamental men can be? Try four of'em with swords lol :P)...

Party in the Park!

A couple of us lent a helping hand at The Party in the Park in Uxbridge on the 26th of June.

(Josh, Cate and Dee Jay with the Mayor)

We dolled ourselves up snazzily to match with the buoyancy of the sunny day (England's now flooded in the torrential rain that a few weeks of intense sunshine tends to bring around here) and face painted, crafted balloons and handed out colorful leaflets for Churches Together.

Have a look at the pix and enjoy!

(Cate, Jo and David on the far left with some of the organizers)


Oh and... if anyone asks, you didn't hear it from me. But it turns out...*glances around shiftily*...

The Four Horsemen team may make an appearance at the Edinburgh Festival this summer!

Which festival, you ask? Well that remains to be seen - but keep your eyes open - cuz I'll post as soon as I know, m'kay? :D

Thousand Dreams....

Sorry there hasn't been much posted up here recently. Hasn't been much action this end as of yet... Sam (Death) is in Brazil for three weeks so things have been a bit slower...
Having said that though, some friends of ours in New York recorded this music video - fun and cute - enjoy!

Community Service :P...

What with the rain and all (yep, the sunny weather's taken flight this end...hope it's better wherever you are), our team hasn't been as active on the streets over the past week or so.
BUT...we have done a good deed in the meantime - volunteering for a community clean-up project to try and clear some of the junk littering our lovely canal!


Inglorious? I think not! We merely swapped our theater costumes for yellow jackets and our props for awesome pick-up sticks and wallah!
We had a lot of fun despite the perpetual rain, working together with the organizers of the event. Some of us even got to use grappling hooks to fling into the water and drag stuff from the bottom (I was the only girl to try it and let me tell you, there was about two warehouses worth of clothing down there...disgusting).


We found all sorts of stuff, from random floating coconuts to empty gasoline containers and even a buggy. I think for me the biggest find was the realization that the environment is seriously going to hell - all of us have contributed to the massive amounts of waste at some point in our lives (yes, that empty gum wrapper DID count :P).


But it's also cool to know that there are people out there dedicated to trying to save what they can and make the environment a better place. Sort of like the way each of us decide to do a good deed even though it just seems like a drop in the bucket when everyone else around us is making the wrong decisions.

Just makes life...nicer, I guess. Certainly makes us feel better anyway! :D

Eye Candy!

Scored the colored version of the leaflet we were reading with some of the gang in Swansea!

Basically outlines a lot of what our plays discuss and the overall creed of our team (Drafted up by Simon and designed by the awesomely talented Bella :P).

Have a read - it just might change your life!
