The Wiz, 23 – 25 May 2013 Summer Serenade – Choir Concert 13 July 2013 The Wedding Singer

Welcome

We are an award-winning community performing arts group based in Rickmansworth with a membership of over 100 members passionate about amateur theatre and performance. Founded in 1944 we continue to put on at least two productions a year, usually a musical and a play in Spring and late Autumn at either Watersmeet in Rickmansworth or The Pump House in Watford. Our members get involved in all aspects of theatre productions, from performing, costuming, make-up, set design/construction and directing.

In addition to putting on a spring and autumn production, we have a weekly choir and youth group, run regular theatre-related workshops as well as hire ourselves out for murder mystery and entertainments evenings. We also have an extensive props and wardrobe facility.

With so much going on there’s always room for new enthusiastic members who want to join us, on and off stage, in our quest to create a high quality enjoyable theatre experience for our loyal audiences.

We hope to see you soon.

If you go down to the woods…

If you were one of the dog-walkers about on Chesham Bois Common last weekend, then you might have stumbled across an unusual spectacle! Girls from the Crucible cast dressed in white night gowns, dancing about and round a fire with a cauldrun on top might have looked strange to some. We were filming various sequences …
