Welcome to the Ravenshead Theatre Group website; we hope you find something to interest you.
The Ravenshead Theatre Group was established in about 1967 in the village of Ravenshead, 10 miles north of Nottingham. Over the years, we have become a reputable amateur dramatics group who perform about three productions a year.
Within the locality, we have built upon our reputation for providing good quality entertainment and are particularly proud of the achievements we have made in producing pantomimes. The other productions each year are a varied mixture of one act and two act plays, both comedy and serious.
With “wonderful enthusiasm” and
even some talent, we enjoy prancing on the boards as we attempt to delight the
populace around by doing on stage what others would be considered quite mad to
do in any other public place.
We have a large wardrobe of costumes and may be able to assist other groups. See the costume hire page for details.
Over 60 people are members of the group including the Youth Group. We are a mixed bunch of individuals with an amazing range of obsessions, passions and capabilities. In addition to members who perform, there are talented technical crew who make the productions come alive.
Rehearsals are most Wednesday evenings at the Brammer Room in the Ravenshead Village Hall, Vernon Crescent, Ravenshead, from 8pm until about 10pm. The evening invariably continues in the Sherwood Ranger, Chapel Lane, Ravenshead, until last orders.
So, if it’s acting, backstage, front of house or the technical aspects you’re interested in then please do join us by contacting a member directly or sending us an email for more information.
