We’re Open!

How fantastic it is to be able to say that, but thanks to sheer hard work and determination, our first live in-house production opens to the Public on Thursday 16th September. The cast of ‘Goodnight Mister Tom’ have waited a long time. The show was cast back in 2019 and had to be recast as some of the children had outgrown their roles. However, we have a fantastic cast who, under the direction of Glynis Smith worked on zoom for months before eventually getting back into the theatre to rehearse. Do please come and support them, there are some surprises in store.

Then next month, opening on Wednesday 13th October you will be treated to a fantastic musical featuring music written by the one and only Dolly Parton ‘9 to 5 – The Musical’. This talented cast started rehearsals via zoom. Through the warmer summer evenings they rehearsed dance movements in the theatre car park! The team behind the show, under the direction of Nathan Wilde who brought you ‘Sister Act’ a few years ago so again you are guaranteed excellent entertainment.

The new brochure should be with you very shortly bringing details of upcoming shows to date.

You will already have heard that over the lockdown period we have spent a great deal of time and money on our theatre building, most impressively on the new ventilation/air conditioning/heating system which has cost a lot of money, however we are grateful to The Peoples Postcode Lottery who awarded us £20,000.00 towards the cost. A crowdfunding scheme is still running, and Sue Heath from Box Office has taken on a four-day charity trek in aid of the theatre.

Starting the Autumn season this year is just like starting afresh and to add to the excitement we have a new look, hope you like it but there’s more!! A new look website too, follow the link below to discover more. Please let us know what you think.
