THE Black Country's Tab Operatic Society is celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2017 and to mark the occasion it has secured the rights to perform comedy musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Members have also made the bold decision to move to Stourbridge Town Hall - having performed at Brierley Hill Civic Hall for many years and prior to that at the Tabernacle Church Hall in Old Hill.

The show, which follows the Tab's successful 2016 production of Grease, is based on the 1988 comedy film starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine and is set to run at the Crown Centre theatre from March 27 to April 1 2017.
