Community Theatre

Community Theatre at South Hill Park

South Hill Park Presents

Community theatre is an integral part of the programme here at South Hill Park. Each year, we produce musicals, dramas and comedies featuring a cast of talented local performers.

The community productions encapsulate our mission to nourish a creative community, to create experiences to engage the local population, and to nurture talent – celebrating the artists of today while developing the artists of tomorrow.

Each production is produced by a professional creative team who nurture, train and up-skill the community company – who participate free-of-charge following a successful audition. Cast members often range in age from 8 to 80 – no one is too young or too old as long as they come with bags of enthusiasm.

The quality of our community productions is exceptional, often compared to the west-end or to professional touring theatre. And it is right here, on your doorstep.

If you’d like to get involved in performance at South Hill Park, or are interested in joining our backstage team, please get in touch with Mark Hooper, our Director of Learning, Participation and Community Engagement at mark.hooper@nullsouthhillpark.org.uk

You will also find information about any forthcoming auditions on the news pages of our website. Please check back as information is added on a regular basis.
