We are nothing without our theatre members and are always ready to welcome new faces regardless of experience level. This is a place to get involved in a community, meet people and find a home for your talents.

 

It's not just about acting either - there's an awful lot that goes into staging a production which doesn't involve being on stage. If you don't fancy performing to the audience why not try your hand back stage - with lights, sound, or costumes, or there's prompting, directing and stage management, or play selection and casting. Alternatively you can put your people skills to work in the front of house team, on the bar or helping with social events. You'll be amazed at the contribution you can make to our community.
