Performing Members

We are always looking to encourage new members to join our happy throng of performers. We are a registered charity and our 'charter' and charitable aims are to encourage, educate and stimulate local performers to produce high quality entertainment for local audiences. Many of our members throughout the years have taken their experience gained within the Society on to professional careers on the West End and around the country.... but most simply enjoy this as a great, cheap hobby, with friends you'll meet and have fun with, and experiences that will last a lifetime....

New members can join us either by passing either a new member's audition, or by auditioning for a principal role, whilst informing the audition committee that they wish this to be considered as their new member's audition. For further details please see our auditions section.

In addition to their annual members subscription all performing members are asked to contribute a nominal show fee for each production.

Backstage & Assistants

In addition to the performers you see on stage there are easily as many people involved behind the scenes, all with specialist skills in their own right. We encourage anyone to come along and have a go and learn these crafts:

• Production Directors & assistants
• Scenery construction
• Stage crew
• Lighting
• Sound
• Costumes
• Props & armoury
• Make-up
• Front of house
• Officials: accounts, secretaries, social committees, etc...

Junior Members

Junior membership at a reduced rate is open for our members who are 16 or under who wish to support or Societies activities. Many shows do require younger performers, although the minimum age for our adult chorus is 17 years at the time of the performance.

Patrons

We also welcome any of our audience to support the activities of this charity by becoming a Patron of the Society. Patrons are entitled to all of the benefits of membership (except voting rights), including; priority booking for premium seats in the theatre, regular newsletters to keep you in touch with Society news and forthcoming productions, invitations to the social events that we organise throughout the year.
