who are we?
We are a local amateur theatre company which has been active in the village of Prestwood since 1969. Each year we aim to put on three different productions and put on various other events throughout the year.
There are many different tasks involved in putting on successful productions, some that can be filled by newcomers, and others that require skills and experience built up over time, including
There are many different tasks involved in putting on successful productions, some that can be filled by newcomers, and others that require skills and experience built up over time, including
- Acting - which can be daunting at first, if you have never before "trod the boards" you can try with a small or non-speaking role, knowing that there are experienced and supportive people around you, who can help you build your confidence and talent to be able to take on a more challenging character or even a lead role in the future
- Creative - we have lots of opportunities for you to express your creativity! People's creative ideas need turning into reality so all sorts of skills are required, such as: woodworking (for set construction), painting (for backdrops, set and props), set and prop making and organising, needlework (at times, quite extravagant costumes!), make-up, lighting, sound, publicity and computer skills (posters, flyers, programmes etc)
- Organising - Certain key roles are ultimately needed to make each production happen. These include: directing, stage managing, producing and assisting which can be a good opportunity to learn the ropes. Also, our committee, who behind the scenes run the ship to make sure it stays afloat, safe, inclusive and fun for all
