If you have written a play you think might be suitable or know of one you want to suggest, we are eager to see it!

We have a steering group, theoretically of six, hence the name (actually 7 at the moment) who choose plays and directors, and manage productions and finances.

All directors run auditions to choose their cast. They are not ordeals. We usually arrange to read through the play and do a little characterisation at an informal meeting. We always pick the best person for the part so you may get cast even if you are new

We put on good quality plays that excite us, from costume drama to brand new modern comedies, chamber pieces and satire. We like to say we put on plays which make people laugh, cry and think, (not necessarily all at the same time). A look at our past productions should give you a flavour.  We have been the first amateur company in the country to perform a new play several times, and we have also performed plays written by a member of the company.

We generally put on two plays a year, although we also have rehearsed readings and take part in local festivals.

Everybody is welcome. Our performers ages have ranged between seven and eighty. However, we are always on the lookout for young people from diverse backgrounds.
