FRONT OF HOUSE
A well appointed Bar and Coffee Bar

Hire charges available on application

SCENERY & PROPS
Monday & Wednesday evenings are generally our work nights, where members spend their time making & painting scenery & props for our forthcoming productions. You really don't need to be an expert and help is always at hand. If you would like to try your hand at some scenery painting, carpentry or creating props give us a ring, or just turn up any Monday or Wednesday evening in some old clothes
BACKSTAGE
The performers of all our productions depend on a very reliable backstage team who, under the direction of the Stage Manager, control the scene changes, lighting, sound, props, continuity and special effects. Truly without them the shows would not go on. If you have an interest in this aspect of theatre, please contact us for further details.
