In 1960, our group was founded a small group of people from the congregation of St Hilda’s Church. Since then we have performed over 100 shows, from farce to thriller, and of course our annual Christmas pantomime. We’ve produced shows from some of the world’s best known playwrights, some lesser known authors, and even performed award winning scripts created by members of our group.
Find out more about us on this page, and if you feel like becoming a part of our group why not come along and join us?!
