About us

Since 1981

Who are we and what do we do?

We consider ourselves a friendly and lively drama group for all ages (18+) and from all walks of life.
We are proud to be a staple part of the community we serve, engaging ourselves in community events alongside our amateur dramatics. Find out more about our community engagement project here…

Across the course of the year, we aim to put on at least two productions, from short one-act plays, to full length plays as well as singing!

We do our own lighting, sound, set / stage design as well as everything else that goes into making a show for the theatre!

There really is something for everyone!
