ACTORS & BEHIND THE SCENES

We are actively seeking new members, aged 18 or over from all backgrounds, to join our exciting long-standing amateur theatre company. No experience is necessary - we welcome enthusiastic individuals who would like to start a new hobby or maybe get back into an old one.  Being involved in a theatre production, be it on or off stage, is very rewarding and a great way to meet like-minded people in a creative and welcoming environment.

ACTORS

Auditions take place throughout the season for our productions and our approach is simple - we look to cast the best person for the part! 

The standard is high but the range of involvement is broad so there are usually plenty of opportunities to interest all.

BEHIND THE SCENES

We also want to attract new members to our team of creatives. No matter how much experience you have in theatre production, there are opportunities to support with set design and build, lighting and sound, props, costume and stage management. Front of house volunteers are also an essential part of our team. 

Rehearsals

The Playhouse is generally open for rehearsals most Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7.30pm between September to May depending on the demands of the current production. For more information about joining us please fill out the contact form above.

Set Construction

During our production season most Sunday mornings from 10am The Playhouse is open for set construction. If you have an interest in DIY, are a tradesperson who wishes to volunteer their services, or simply fancy learning a new skill then we welcome enthusiastic volunteers to help build our sets. No experience is needed, our members will gladly share their knowledge and experience as nobody is expected to be an expert at anything. Come along and pick up a screwdriver or wield a paintbrush in a relaxed, friendly environment with a guarantee of plenty of tea and biscuits. For more information about joining us please fill out the contact form above.
