Casts
We normally perform one show in the spring of each year in the 567-seat main theatre at the Royal Spa Centre in Leamington. Our shows are open audition, with generally adult casts of around 30 members. We will advertise specifically if there are roles available for under-18s.
Rehearsals are usually on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in Leamington from the autumn, plus Sunday afternoon rehearsals for the last six weeks or so before curtain-up.
We welcome potential singers, dancers, and actors whether experienced or not. Our expectation is for commitment and enthusiasm. If you would be interested in joining a cast, please contact us.
Social
Members keep in touch between shows through a Facebook group and WhatsApp chats. People meet up for quiz nights, relax in the park, or arrange for meals and theatre trips.
As a Society, we arrange coffee mornings and catch-ups (which help to fundraise too). In May 2022 we inaugurated a Grand Ball with dinner and dance to celebrate our centenary. It was a brilliant night and, who knows, we might make it a more regular occasion!
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
We aim to have an atmosphere of equality, friendship, respect and care for each other. Find out how what this means for us.
