Welcome!                                                                                

The seaside Kentish town of Herne Bay is home to its very own charming little 72 seat theatre, and the award-winning drama society that own it. We are members of the Little Theatre Guild of Great Britain, and affiliated with the Kent Drama Association and Canterbury Arts Council. Every year, we aim to produce six full length productions (including a pantomime, of course), and our thriving youth theatre performs an additional two full length productions each year. We also host a calendar of social events for our members, and are pleased to welcome touring theatre companies to our stage from time to time.

Our society was first formed back in 1947, performing in various venues, until our 40th year when we opened our new theatre in Bullers Avenue. Having recently celebrated our 60th anniversary, we are also celebrating the near completion of our Stage II project to extend, update and renovate our lovely little theatre and after two years of fundraising and hard work, and a final push when we received a generous grant from the Big Lottery Fund, our project has finally come to fruition in the form of new wheelchair access to the auditorium and wheelchair facilities, a new toilet block, bar area and kitchen, and restructuring and decoration of the lighting and sound box and foyer.

Our membership is constantly expanding, and we're always happy to welcome new members to the society, whether you'd like to tread the boards yourself, try your hand at directing, get involved in the technical aspects of theatre or join our front of house team, whether you're interested in set painting, costuming, or just love theatre and would like to support a local society - we'd love to hear from you!
