Professional Development Program
The Professional Development Program offers all members an opportunity to grow their professional knowledge, skills and experience through programs of organised theatre parties and structured workshops. Where funds permit the company will subsidise the cost of projects in order to facilitate maximum participation.
Non members may also apply to attend but the cost will be a little higher unless they choose to join the group.
We organise regular group bookings to performances by established theatre companies. Seats are always limited but the prices are very reasonable.
We program skills workshops, conducted by acknowledged experts, in a host of fields such as: acting, stage management, production design and directing. Members are regularly informed of events, dates and times.

Local Script Development Program
Theatre is always most exciting when a performance reflects the social realities of its audience. Individual members understand that they are no longer alone. A play does not truly exist until the words begin to live and breathe through the work of actors on a stage. The magic doesn’t happen until theatre companies and writers work together.
Our Local Script Development Program is an attempt to reach nearby dramatists, forge relationships with them and to collaborate in the “bringing to life” of new scripts. “OUT OF THE BLUE” is the title we have given to this program which will re-emerge in 2024. When we will showcase new one plays that are unpublished and not previously performed. Interested authors are invited to submit their scripts at any time.
The scripts will be read by our play selection committee and four will be short listed. They’ll then be assigned directors; actors will be engaged; and the plays actively workshopped in collaboration with the authors during February 2024.
