Becoming a Member

It is essential that those performing are 'paid up' members of the Company to ensure our insurance covers you in case of any mishaps!

Members provide crucial support in terms of time, energy, and resources. Whether volunteering backstage during rehearsals and performances, fundraising, or lending their expertise in various capacities, their commitment ensures the smooth functioning and financial stability of the theatre company. 

And if you want to be involved but are not sure about performing then there are plenty of other skills that we need.  Examples of the sort of things members can do are

• Acting
• Singing
• Directing
• Dancing
• Set Design
• Set Building
• Props Making
• Wardrobe and costume design
• Tech (lighting and sound)
• Prompt (just in case)
• Fundraising

We usually plan to perform a show each May and October and rehearsals for these begin up to 3 months earlier and are normally held 3 day a week.  The days are determined by the production team at the start of the process and are usually held at either the British Legion or the Manor House.  Of course not all the cast are necessarily required at every rehearsal.

We also hold regular social events such as Quiz nights, Bowling evenings, Race Nights etc both to enjoy ourselves and help raise funds.

Being part of an amateur theatre company offers members a sense of belonging and camaraderie. It provides opportunities for personal growth, skill development, and meaningful social connections, fostering a supportive and inclusive community where individuals can explore their passion for the performing arts together.

In essence, members are the backbone of an amateur theatre company, driving its artistic endeavors, fostering community engagement, and enriching the cultural fabric of society as a whole. Their dedication and commitment are invaluable, laying the foundation for memorable performances and enduring bonds that transcend the stage.
