Could you be involved?
If you’re completely new to theatre, highly experienced or somewhere in between, we’d love you to be involved.
​Rehearsals tend to be on Thursday evenings (for over 12s) and Sunday afternoons (all ages). There are some get-ins and get-outs on Saturday day times and Sunday evenings, and occasionally dress or technical rehearsals on Saturday day times too.  

Cast and Crew Communication
During a production, we usually have a private Facebook group for cast and crew members (parents of under 18s in the cast and crew are invited to join too). This provides a central repository for the rehearsal schedule and other production information, as well as lively discussion.

If you want to learn a skill, here’s the place to try it out.  We welcome children and adults of any age.* (*Under 7's if their parents are involved.)
