When/what do you perform?
We perform a wide range of shows including serious dramas and comedies, (both classic and contemporary), and an annual pantomime. There are four shows a year: pantomime in late January; then 3 other shows late April; late July and late October.
There are links to information about our Current, Next and Future productions from the Home Page, as well as our Production Archive.

Where do you perform?
We currently perform at St. Anne's Church Hall, in Wandsworth, south-west London. However, we have also taken 2 recent productions to Wimbledon Studio Theatre. Full directions including a map and local bus routes etc are available from the How To Find Us link on the Home Page.

Where/when do you rehearse?
We normally rehearse on Tuesday evenings 8.15-10.15pm and Sunday afternoons 4pm-8pm at St. Anne's Church Hall. The rehearsal period for each show is approximately 12 weeks. Further details of rehearsals can be found here.

How do I join?
There are no auditions to join our group. We encourage newcomers to meet us at a rehearsal before signing up so they can see our facilities and get to know us. They can then get involved straight away with whatever production is in rehearsal; either by standing in for cast members, making props or costumes, painting/constructing the set or simply by making the tea! We request that people become members before auditioning for a show, although we do regularly cast newcomers. Auditions are advertised on the website a few weeks in advance. A link to current audition information can be found on the main Home Page.

How much does it cost to join?
Subs are £60 p/a (contribution if unwaged), payable in advance or quarterly by standing order 1 Feb; 1 May; 1 Aug; 1 Nov. You start paying from the next due quarter date after you join (unless you accept a role in a show immediately on joining – in this case, the quarterly amount is payable before your first rehearsal).

I'm more interested in helping backstage/with the technical side of things, rather than acting
Members can be involved in any aspect of staging a production from directing, through acting and stage management, to the more technical areas such as lighting and sound, making costumes and props, and building the set. There are also the peripheral areas of publicity and Front of House (serving the drinks!) during show week.

Is it a friendly group?
The group is very friendly and all members are encouraged to take part as they wish in any area of the group, regardless of experience. This means that, even if you're not actually acting, you can still be involved in the production. Apart from the shows, there is a very good social scene, including quiz nights, the annual dinner, biannual awards ceremony and regular trips to the local pub after rehearsals. Links to current social events and our in-house awards can be found on the main Home Page.

Can I get tickets for the next show?
There is ticket information displayed on the main Home Page, and links to information about our Current, Next and Future productions from the Home Page. There are even links to our Production Archive and Reviews on the Home Page too. You can buy tickets through our box office - details are posted on the Home Page once tickets are available.

I want to join, what do I do next?
Email us and let us know when you hope to pop in to meet us, or just turn up at the hall during a rehearsal and make yourself known.
