About Us

The Company aims to put on a varied programme of productions each year including a traditional pantomime. Rehearsals are usually on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The high number of productions and regular social events make for a lively, interesting and friendly organisation.

We are a registered charity and the company relies on the time and effort of its members. New members are always welcome and we are a very social group.

Tuesday evening is considered “club night” and is always open to new members. Informal play readings and workshops happen regularly and this is a good opportunity to meet some of the members and have a look around the theatre.

There are many interesting jobs to be done; it is not just the actors who bring the show to you. There is always a need for set designers, scenery builders, lighting and Sound people, prompts, front of house staff, costume makers, graphic artists, musicians and many others for the thousand and one jobs that contribute to a successful group.

Young Stagers – aged 7 up to (& including) Y7 who meet on a Saturday morning 10:30am until 12:00pm. Upstagers – from Y8  up to (& including) age 18 (Y13 or equivalent), who meet on Fridays 4:30pm – 6:00pm.
